Hot Cocoa Baked Oatmeal

This Hot Cocoa Baked Oatmeal is vegan, gluten-free, super easy to make, and so festive!

Every time I share a baked oatmeal recipe, I recieve at leastttt a few requests for an egg-free option… you guys asked and I am delivering! I was worried that the baked oatmeal wouldn’t come out as fluffy without an egg but I have to say, I was so wrong! I am actually sad it took me this long to come up with an egg-free blended baked oatmeal recipe because it turned out UNREAL! So fluffy and cake-like DROOL next up, I’ll come up with a banana-free option as that is another popular request.

I love making baked oatmeal because it feels like I am eating a big, warm, delicious, muffin for breakfast but it’s actually just as filling and balanced as a bowl of oatmeal! I also love having it as an afternoon snack or even a before bed treat!

This Hot Cocoa Baked Oatmeal is so nostalgic and brings me all of the wintery holiday feels!

Here’s what you need to make Hot Cocoa Baked Oatmeal:

  • oats— I typically use sprouted oats organic for easier digestion and to avoid glyphosate but any rolled oats will do!
  • 1/2 banana— the spottier the banana, the better. This is a key sweetener in this recipe and spottier bananas are much sweeter than green/just ripe bananas.
  • milk of choice— I typically used homemade cashew milk or coconut milk but feel free to swap in your preferred milk! Oat, almond, coconut, or regular milk will all work great.
  • maple syrup— as a sweetener. Feel free to sub in your preferred sweetener. 
  • cocoa powder— cacao powder works too! Just make sure you use unsweetened.
  • a pinch of salt
  • baking soda
  • optional— marshmallows (vegan if needed), melted chocolate for drizzle, crushed candy cane for topping
