- Oats: This recipe uses rolled oats as the base. Use certified gluten-free oats if you are gluten-free. You can use quick oats, just know the baking time will decrease.
- Maple Syrup: Be sure to use 100% pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup). You can 1:1 substitute maple for agave or date syrup.
- Non-Dairy Milk: Any kind of non-dairy milk works including almond, soy, coconut, hemp, cashew, etc.
Please take note that this is important information about the ingredients used in this recipe and the FULL recipe with measurements and details can be found DOWN BELOW (scroll to it) in the recipe card.

Commonly Asked Questions
You can keep this baked oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days after making. I recommend reheating in the microwave or in the oven for a couple minutes.
Yes! For a nut-free version, use sun butter instead of peanut butter and replace the crushed peanuts with seeds or omit. Be sure to use allergy-friendly non-dairy milk and chocolate chips. For a completely allergy friendly option, try these 3-Ingredient Oatmeal Banana Bites!
I love baked oatmeal because it’s super customizable. Feel free to omit the chocolate chips and instead, add in chopped dates, raisins, dried cranberries, banana slices, apple chunks, etc. The options are endless!
I recommend a ceramic or glass, oven-safe, 9×9 baking dish. It’s sturdy, heat-resistant, and doubles as a great storage vehicle for keeping the baked oatmeal in the fridge.

DELICIOUS.. yes, I am shouting! Fresh out of the oven – is one serving half a pan? lol 👍
Lynne says
This looks amazing! Your recipe calls for a 9×9 pan, but the picture looks rectangular. Is the recipe correct? Looking forward to trying this….
Danielle Keith says
Either kind of pan will work! Mine was just an awkward size so I recommended 9×9 because it’s more common to have it.
Shonta Rosborough says
Can I use chia seeds instead of flax?
Danielle Keith says
Yes!
Rosie says
Definitely kid friendly. It’s so delicious.
Melanie says
This looks so yummy! I can’t wait to try. I don’t have any flax or chia seeds on hand. Are they necessary or can I omit?
Danielle Keith says
It will probably be fine without it!
Jennifer says
Do you have the nutrition facts for this? Looks yummy!
Danielle Keith says
I don’t! Feel free to add it on my fitness pal.
Fran says
This was sooooo good. My grandson and I had it for breakfast – so decadent. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing
Deb says
Can you sub date syrup instead of maple syrup?
Danielle Keith says
Yes!
Brian says
Fantastic recipe! Turned out great! I didn’t have maple syrup or peanuts so I subbed in date paste & pecans. I also added in ground chia & pumpkin seeds for an extra kick of omega’s & zinc.
Runningoncurry says
Super easy to make and delicious. The best of all, a great hit with kids. These oatmeal bakes are lifesavers during busy mornings because they are easy to bake the night before and this recipe of yours came out with perfect consistency. We were able to eat it on-the-go as well. I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and pecans instead peanuts. Would to love to see some variations to this.
Jennifer says
Hi Runningoncurry,
just wondering, when you bake it the night before, do you leave it overnight at room temperature or put in the fridge? And do you reheat the next morning or just eat as is? Thanks!
Danielle Keith says
if you bake it the night before, leave it in the fridge and reheat it the next morning!
Kimberly says
I’d love to make this but for one serving size what would be the measurements?
Danielle Keith says
You can bake the whole pan then keep it in the fridge. You can reheat it whenever you want to eat it! Unlike regular oatmeal this can be reheated.
Elaine says
This is fantastic. It is a little sweet for me though. Would the recipe still work out if I used 1/4 cup maple syrup? If not, what can help it be less sweet?
Sarah says
Looks fantastic! Can this be put together the night before? Would that mess with the oats?
Danielle Keith says
Just bake it and then you can reheat it whenever you want to eat it!
Carol says
This recipe is delicious! After baking, I cut the pan into six servings, individually wrapped them and froze them. When I’m heading off to work, I just grab one out of the freezer and by the time I’m ready to eat it, it is thawed and delicious. They freeze beautifully and taste great even at room temperature!
5 says
can i use organic sugar instead of maple syrup? will that work?
Ty so much i love your recipes!!!
Danielle Keith says
yes! Should work add more milk if it’s too dry
Kendra says
Wow this was so good! I did reduce the maple syrup to 1/4 cup and I think I will reduce the chocolate chips too next time because it was a bit too chocolatey for me. I also used extra crunchy peanut butter instead of adding peanuts since I didn’t have any. I used planet oat extra creamy oat milk for the non dairy milk and it was delicious! Definitely will be making again
Crystal Lolarga says
Such an amazing & easy treat! Perfect for breakfast too, I made mine with quick oats & the texture is perfect. I will definitely bake this again with rolled oats next time!
Elcie says
Delicious as dessert. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it for breakfast tomorrow, too! 🙂 I found that just one bowl worked perfectly during prep which makes this recipe even better! Thank you!
Erin Leedy says
I made this for my two kids and they loved it. Between my two growing boys and my dad, I think I only got have one bite. Will be making this again soon! Thank you for this great recipe!
Kim says
Can I add protien powder? How much? Thank you!
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says
Yes! One scoop should be good!
Jennifer says
I have made this at least a dozen times now. It’s delicious and comforting and so easy to make! 10 minutes of work then I pop it in the oven while getting ready for my day. My partner and I will then eat it for 3 days straight, sometimes with vegan Greek yoghurt or extra milk and fruit on the side. It’s also extremely versatile! I have made it with rolled oats, steel oats, millet, quinoa and I add any nut I need to use up if I don’t have peanuts – pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts. Thanks for the great recipe!
Jennifer says
Forgot my 5 star rating!
Gretchen says
Does this firm up? I think this would be a great cookie bar recipe.
Danielle Brown says
Yes, it firms up but is best reheated! It is not the texture of a cookie, it’s baked oatmeal 🙂
Melissa Hunt-Loy says
It would be great if you could give the calorie count and nutritional values in your recipes.

This was really good. I used organic peanut butter and honey in place of syrup because I did not have it on hand. I cut back on the chocolate a little. Turned out great. Thanks for posting!
