Healthy baked oats made without gluten, dairy, or eggs. These oats have lots of fresh pear, a hint of vanilla, and warm chai-style spices. They’re naturally sweetened with maple syrup and made with clean, wholesome ingredients. This is a great recipe for meal prep or whenever you’re craving a warm comforting breakfast.
What I love about this recipe is that it only takes 5 minutes to get it in the oven, and you have breakfast ready to go for the next few days. You can double the recipe if needed and have a great breakfast to serve a crowd. It’s full of warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom that complement the sweetness of the pear and add delicious flavor to the oats.

Making these baked oats
Preparing these baked oats is so simple. Just mix your ingredients, add them to your pan, and pop them in the oven. You’ll only need a mixing bowl, a large spoon, and an 8×8-inch baking dish for this recipe. I like to make this on Sunday, then I have breakfast already prepared for the busy week ahead. When I’m ready to eat I just pop the oats in an oven-proof dish and reheat them in my air fryer. You can also reheat these for 30-60 seconds in your microwave. I love to top my oats with a dollop of nondairy coconut yogurt. Cocojune unsweetened vanilla is my current favorite.
Frequently Asked Questions
