This healthy, baked oatmeal is the perfect breakfast recipe, that the whole family will love. It actually tastes more like a dessert than a regular breakfast. It’s sweet and delicious. Made with almond milk, oats, mango, cranberries, nuts, and dates with a little bit of coconut sugar. You can bake it the night before, which means a fuss-free morning!
This healthy baked oatmeal recipe is super simple and easy to make. Toss all the ingredients together and pop them in the oven, half an hour later your delicious breakfast is ready. It doesn’t get any easier!
You can prepare it ahead of time. Simply, bake it the night before and serve in the morning. Serve it warm or cold, just how you like it. You can warm it up in the microwave or oven.
It’s one of my favourite breakfast recipes as it’s high in fibre, loaded with fruits and nuts. This easy baked oatmeal recipe is also dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan.
Ingredients for this healthy baked oatmeali
You can pretty much customise this simple baked porridge recipe, using your favourite ingredients or ingredients you have on hand. Basically, you can change almost everything!
- Oats – I like to use both old fashioned oats and instant oats, but you can use only one of them.
- Fruits – use any fruits you have on hand, not necessarily mangoes and cranberries, although it’s a super tasty combination!
- Milk – any plant milk works just fine.
- Nuts – use any nuts you like, I usually use pecans or cashews.
- Sweetener – I like to use coconut sugar as it gives a special caramel flavour. Feel free to use any sweetener you like. You can also skip it at all, as dates in the recipe give some sweetness.
If you like mango and it ends up in your basket from time to time, I recommend trying one more recipe that uses this delicious fruit (link below). In both recipes, you need half a mango so nothing is wasted!
