Spiced Savory Baked Oatmeal with veggies

Veggie- and flavor-packed, savory baked oats are a perfect, healthy, make-ahead breakfast! The whole dish comes together in one pan and one bake.

Most everyone in my family prefers savory breakfast and snacks. I make my baked savory oats more than sweet versions. This is another delicious savory option for you which uses just 1 pan and makes a great snack for breakfast.

This is a super quick savory baked oatmeal casserole, just like my other baked oatmeal recipes; I use similar ingredients like oats and non-dairy milk. Then I add lots of vegetables and some spices.

The result is a moist oat bar that is filled with veggies. Think of ban oat “fritter,” but baked instead of fried, and in a bar form. You can also waffle the mix. Add a bit more flour and make waffles!

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Old fashioned or thick oats and flour – This is the base for your dough. You can use gluten-free or other flours, if needed.
• baking powder, salt, and spices – Baking powder results in a fluffier casserole, while the salt and spices add lots of flavor!
• veggies – Bell peppers, carrots, onion, tomato, and cilantro add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
• wet ingredients – Non-dairy milk and oil add moisture to the oats mixture.

Tips

• If you want even heartier vegan baked oats, add a quarter cup of nuts or almond flour to the pan before baking.
• For more protein, add a cup or so of cooked beans or edamame.
• Make sure to use warm non dairy milk and stir really well, so you have a nice, even mixture. Adding the ingredients in stages, as directed, helps you get a cohesive mixture that will bake up to the best texture.
