EASY BANANA CAROB CHIP BAKED OATMEAL
Certified gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats are a staple in our house. We go through one 2-lb bag a month. Oats are a great, heart-healthy ingredient that I add to a lot of my baked desserts. My husband also uses them in his protein-packed, post-workout smoothies. If you’re like me and happen to have lots of oats on hand, I suggest trying out recipes like my Gluten-Free Apricot Crumble, gluten-free raspberry jam oatmeal bars, Easy brown sugar peach crisp, and of course this banana carob chip baked oatmeal.
For those of you living a vegan lifestyle, using the proper oats are crucial. Pre-packaged or flavored oats often contain non-vegan friendly ingredients like milk or whey. I suggest Bob’s Red Mill Certified Gluten-Free Rolled oats. I purchase them in bulk from amazon.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BAKED OATMEAL (& GLUTEN-FREE BAKED OATMEAL)?
I’ve never made baked oatmeal before but woke up craving something other than my typical bowl of hot cereal. Marisa Moore’s Fresh Peach & Pecan baked oatmeal recipe was the perfect guide.
To ensure that this baked oatmeal recipe is allergy-friendly, here are a few key substitutions that need to occur. Regular baked oatmeal contains dairy and eggs, which will need to be substituted. Additionally, gluten-free baked oatmeal will require gluten-free oats – preferably certified. I also removed all nuts.
To be clear, I used carob chips in this recipe, but chocolate chips will work just fine. I am addicted to carob chips after making these cookies. Please note that vegan chocolate chips can easily be substituted in this recipe.
This recipe is merely a suggested guide for creating the best-baked oatmeal. You can add whatever you like from walnuts to baked pears or cranberries! Trust the ancestors, lol.
REHEATING AND STORING BAKED OATMEAL
Cover with foil and reheat in a 350-degree oven for 20 minutes, or individual microwave portions on HIGH for 1 minute.
Baked oatmeal can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For freezer storage, place slices of oatmeal on a parchment-lined sheet pan, then freeze until solid. Transfer the oatmeal slices to a freezer bag for longer-term storage. To reheat, microwave an oatmeal slice for 30-40 seconds.
