Maple Pecan Baked Oatmeal | Vegan + Gluten-Free

This Maple Pecan Oatmeal is hearty, cozy, and made from only 9 wholesome ingredients! Made in 1 bowl and perfect for a make-ahead breakfast or slow morning.

Tis the season for hearty breakfasts, seasonal flavors, and hugs-in-a-bowl (or plate). Thankfully for all of us, this Vegan Maple Pecan Baked Oatmeal does all three! 

INGREDIENTS FOR MAPLE PECAN BAKED OATMEAL

Lucky for you, this baked oatmeal recipes comes together with only 9 ingredients and 1 bowl! A lot of non-vegan recipes use eggs to bind their oatmeal together, but I’ve found that ground flax seed works just as well. Other key ingredients include: 

• Rolled Oats – these are my favorite in baked oatmeal and have the best texture and chew
• Pecans – for creaminess, texture, and holiday flavor
• Dried Fruit – I used medjool dates, but any other dried fruit would work here as well
• Non-Dairy Milk – I used homemade pecan milk, but any will do!
• Maple Syrup – for a touch of sweetness 🙂

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BAKED OATMEAL

1. Preheat the oven
2. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well
3. Bake until golden, then enjoy!

Yep, it’s that simple 🙂 Which is why baked oatmeal is so great! This Maple Pecan Baked Oatmeal is the perfect holiday breakfast, but it’s equally as useful for meal prep or breakfasts on-the-go (as it has a much firmer, portable texture)

WAYS TO SERVE MAPLE PECAN BAKED OATMEAL

This baked oatmeal recipe is perfect on it’s own, but can easily be spruced up/spread further if you’re feeding a crowd! I decorated mine with some Stovetop Candied Pecans, pomegranate seeds, coconut yogurt, and a drizzle of maple syrup. You can also make this recipe your own by:

• Baking the oatmeal with a different dried fruit (cherries, blueberries, or raisins would be great here!)
• Swapping out the pecans for almonds, walnuts, or macadamia nuts
• Adding in extra spices of your choosing, like pumpkin pie or gingerbread spice.

How every you end up serving it, I guarantee this dish will put a smile on your face 🙂 And hey, if you do make this recipe and decide to share it on Facebook or Instagram, don’t forget to tag me @FromMyBowl + #FromMyBowl! I love seeing your delicious recreations 🙂
