    📖 About

    We used to wake up before 5 am when we were nursing full time at the hospital. And let us tell you, it is extremely saddening (especially for us foodies) forgetting to make breakfast ahead of time.

    The absolute chaos of trying to get ready, make food, and run out the door is not something we were fond of. So, we decided to create recipes we could prep ahead of time to reduce the morning stress. Enter our vegan baked berry oatmeal.

    This breakfast is just the right amount of sweet with crunchy pecans and juicy berries full of antioxidants. For those who aren't regular oatmeal fans, baked oatmeal retains a better shape and isn't mushy in the slightest.

    You'll love this breakfast because each serving is low in calories, while still containing over 9 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber. You can see why we love this recipe.

    If you're not a pecan or triple berry fan, no problem. You can easily customize the add-ins to suit your taste. Some other tasty combos are cranberry almond or blueberry coconut!

    We hope you enjoy this vegan, gluten-free, and irresistibly delicious breakfast!

    🍲 Key ingredients

    • Rolled oats: you're not going to have delicious oatmeal without rolled oats. We prefer using rolled over quick or steel-cut because of the taste and texture. They're full of rich, toasted nut flavors we're obsessed with. Plus, rolled oats are one of the best sources of fiber. Did you know only 5% of people in the US meet the recommended target for this nutrient?
    • Berries: berries provide many nutrients like vitamin C and manganese. In this recipe, we use blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, but we recommend any dark berries due to their taste and health benefits. The tart flavor from berries, especially raspberries and blackberries, is the perfect way to balance out the coconut sugar and banana.
    • Banana: we use banana for two reasons: as a natural sweetener and as an egg replacement. Banana helps bind the oats together like an egg usually would. Plus, bananas are a great source of vitamin B6, which helps your body produce red blood cells. Eat up!
    • Soy milk: if you'd like oatmeal that's extra tasty and creamy, try using soy milk. Plant-based milks are another great way to get in your vitamins and minerals because they're typically fortified. That means, things like vitamin B12, D, and calcium are added.

    🔪 Instructions

    To begin, you'll need to preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x9 baking dish. Once the oven has finished preheating, toast the chopped pecans on a baking sheet for 3-4 minutes (careful not to burn them...it happens quick).

    While your oven is preheating, mix a few tablespoon of ground flax with water to form "vegan eggs". Then, in a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.

    In a third bowl, melt the vegan butter or coconut oil, and add this along with the soy milk, flax "eggs", mashed banana, toasted pecans, and vanilla. Stir together, then set your bowl aside.

    Bring your attention back to the baking dish. Cover the bottom of your dish generously with frozen berries (saving some for the top). Then, layer the oatmeal mixture and place the leftover berries all over the top.

    Add an extra sprinkle of cane sugar before baking for more sweetness and crunch. Bake your oatmeal for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is slightly spongy. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes and serve this baked oatmeal warm with maple syrup, extra soy milk, or vegan butter!

    🌡️ Storage

    The thing we love about this oatmeal is how great it is to store in the fridge and reheat in the morning. As with most foods, it's best when served fresh out of the oven. But, this oatmeal stores extremely well in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    You can also make it ahead of time and freeze it for up to 1 month. To reheat, just place individual portions in the microwave until warm.

    💭 Budget tips

    We think everyone should be able to eat better for less, so here are a few tricks to make this recipe even more affordable:

    • Swap the pecans for a cheaper nut, or skip them altogether
    • Use cane sugar in place of the coconut sugar
    • Instead of vegan butter, opt for coconut oil
    • Try making your own plant-based oat or nut milk in place of the soy

    No, you do not have to use vegan butter. You can substitute equal portions with coconut oil.
