How to make gingerbread baked oatmeal
This baked oatmeal is SO simple to make and requires less than 10 minutes of prep time!
Start with a baking dish, I used one that was 10×7 but a smaller one would work as well. 8×8 should work fine as well!
Mash you bananas inside of the baking dish.
Next, add in all of the remaining ingredients, except for the apples, and mix well to combine.
Chop up your apple and mix it into your baked oatmeal. I like to also top the oatmeal with some slivered apples but this is optional and purely for looks!
Bake at 375f for 30 minutes until the top is nice and golden.

Is baked oatmeal healthy ?
Baked oatmeal is extremely healthy in most cases. I know it is hard to believe because this baked oatmeal literally tastes like cake! This gingerbread baked oatmeal has minimal sugar, just a mere 2 tablespoons of molasses for the whole dish! It is loaded with fiber and whole grains from the apples and oatmeal and contains omegas from the chia seeds! This is no plain baked oatmeal. It is delicious and packed with health promoting foods!
Some tips from Steph
Top it with my High Protein Vegan Icing Recipe for a protein boost and for some extra flavor! I put this stuff on everything!
Make some gingerbread baked oatmeal cups! You can divide this mixture into a muffin tin and make mini oat cups!
If you prefer crunchy baked oatmeal try my Easy Vegan Quinoa Breakfast Bake Recipe! It is just as delicious and the quinoa has a lovely satisfying crunch to it!
Make it gluten free! This recipe is naturally gluten free but if you are very strict make sure to opt for gluten free certified oatmeal!
Any plant milk will work here! I use homemade plant milk but you can use your favorite milk! To make it nut free make sure to use a nut free milk!
Storing your gingerbread baked oatmeal
Store your gingerbread baked oatmeal in the fridge for up to 5 days! I usually store it in an airtight container. You can also pre-portion the oatmeal into separate containers so you have the meals portioned and ready to go!
