Can you make this vegan strawberry baked oatmeal?

To make these gluten free strawberry baked oats vegan, the only ingredient that needs to be changed are the eggs. In place of the eggs, you can substitute flax eggs. Or, you can use 3/4 cup applesauce. If you do use the applesauce, make sure to use one without any added sugar so that the baked oatmeal doesn’t get too sweet with the maple syrup as well.

Prepping and Cooking Strawberry Baked Oatmeal

It’s really quick to prep the oatmeal for baking. First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and slice your strawberries. Then you will add the eggs, oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon into a mixing bowl and stir together until the eggs are beat.

Add the rolled oats into the mixing bowl and mix the oats in with the liquid. Lastly, pour in the almond milk, stir to combine it with the oats, and then gently fold in the strawberries.

You’ll want to lightly spray an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish with a cooking oil spray, or line it with parchment paper. The oat mixture will then get poured into your baking dish, flattened out so it’s in an even layer, and placed in the oven. Bake your strawberry oatmeal for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the middle has set and has no liquid visible.

Preparing the Night Before Cooking

You can absolutely prepare your gluten free strawberry baked oatmeal the day or evening prior to baking. Simply completely all the steps up until putting the oatmeal bake into the oven. Cover the mixing bowl with a lid or a type of air-tight wrap and refrigerate it.

When you’re ready to bake the next morning, add your oats into the baking dish and bake as instructed in the directions. You do not need to let it warm to room temperature, but it may need an additional minute or two in the oven.

Serving and Storing Baked Oatmeal

Once the baked oatmeal is done, let it rest for about 5 minutes and then you can cut it into square or rectangles. This strawberry oatmeal is delicious served with reserved strawberry slices, any other type of berry, a light drizzle of maple syrup, dairy-free or greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chia or hemp seeds.

Baked oatmeal stores really well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the microwave or enjoyed cold as an oatmeal bar. Before storing in the fridge, let it cool completely. Make sure to store it in an airtight container or individual meal prep containers for easy grab and go breakfast.
