This Banana Cream Pie Baked Oatmeal is gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, low in sugar, and contains more protein than your typical bowl of oatmeal!
I recently went to a graduation party that served a banana cream cake that was TO DIE FOR! So I immediately came home and started brainstorming a similar (but healthier!) recipe. Cue Banana Cream Pie Baked Oatmeal!
I love this recipe because it’s sweet enough to have for a treat (while still staying low in sugar!) but hearty and filling enough to have for breakfast or an afternoon snack!
What is baked oatmeal you might ask?!
Baked oatmeal is basically a muffin and oatmeal hybrid! You take all of the ingredients you would normally add to oats and bake it in the oven creating the most DELICIOUS cake/muffin-like texture.
What yogurt is best to use in this recipe?
I used a sweetened coconut yogurt as a topping in this recipe because it pairs PERFECTLY with the caramelized bananas and cinnamon-y oat cake but feel free to sub whatever yougurt you have on hand/prefer! Greek yogurt, vanilla flavored yogurt, almond based yogurt, etc. will all work great.
What you will need for this recipe:
- 1 banana— the banana adds some natural sweetness and a delicious texture to this recipe.
- oats— I typically go for organic because oats are high in glyphosate. Gluten-free if needed
- protein powder— I love Sprout Living vanilla protein powder in this recipe (discount code: callascleaneats). The protein poweder also adds a bit of sweetness so if you skip it, make sure to add sweetener of choice.
- chia seeds— I use a small amount of chia seeds to help bind the oatmeal together and also to add some healthy fiber.
- non-dairy milk of choice— I typically use almond, cashew, or oat milk.
- cinnamon, sea salt, and baking soda

Hi Calla –
I am new to your blog – ran into you on tik tok. I am excited to try your recipes! Do you happen to have total carbs/fat/proteins listed somewhere for each one? Thanks, Kris
Hi Kris! Aw, so glad you are here! 🙂 I do not have nutritional info, I’m sorry! I typically avoid counting calories/macros and focus on eating real, whole foods but most recipes should be pretty quick to plug into a nutrition calculator. x
Y! Who knew something could be so indulgent AND healthy!
Because I didn’t have protein powder, I added 1/2 oats total instead of 1/3. I also blended them! Still turned out great 👍
Like recommend, I topped them with some toasted coconut vanilla greek yogurt. It was bomb! 😍
So glad you enjoyed! This is one of my faves 🙂
