How to make vegan baked oats for breakfast
- Weigh or measure all the ingredients, although I usually recommend weighing all ingredients for baking. You really don’t need to be super accurate for this recipe to work out perfectly, using the cup measurements is good enough.
- Using a mixing bowl, mix all together and then add to a baking dish.
- Either cover and refrigerate until ready to bake or bake immediately.
- When baking immediately, preheat oven to 180°C/356°F and then bake uncovered for approx 30 minutes or until golden.
- When baking from the refrigerator, if you are using a ceramic or glass dish place it in the cold oven, turn the oven on to 180°C/356°F and bake uncovered for approx 40 minutes or until golden. Do not put a ceramic or glass dish straight from the fridge into a hot oven as the sudden change in temperature may cause it to crack.
- Serve with your favourite yoghurt and maple syrup or go extra and add a scoop of ice cream!!
Variations
- Substitute blueberries for your favourite berry or chopped apple.
- Use your favourite nuts or leave them out altogether.
- Try with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- Add in some chocolate chips.
- Leave out the coconut flakes, if you prefer.
- Add some vanilla or nutmeg.
