I have to say I was hoping for perfect photos of this gluten free baked oatmeal recipe, but as you can see from the missing portion above, my family was very eager to dig in. This is a creamy baked oatmeal recipe that is a crowd-pleaser. It bakes in a big 9x13 dish, so there is plenty for everyone!

If you love cooking and baking with oats, check out all of my recipes with gluten free oats. I also love these Gluten Free Strawberry Oat Bars.

Why This Recipe Works:

  1. It makes a lot of oatmeal so you can feed a big family of 6 for breakfast.
  2. You can add any fruit, nuts, or a favorite mix-in.
  3. This easy-baked oatmeal recipe is great for meal prepping.
  4. Baked oatmeal is easy to freeze in single-serve portions so you can have a quick and easy breakfast during those busy weekday mornings.

There are a few brands of certified gluten free oats, and they are all good. I mostly buy this because you get four bags for a lower price.

Tips For Success:

  • Use certified gluten free old-fashioned rolled oats. Using certified gluten free oats is critical. Wheat and oats are typically grown close together, and cross-contamination risks are high. Gluten free oats are grown with a special purity protocol to prevent this cross-contamination from occurring.
  • Be sure to grease the baking dish to make cleaning up easier.
  • Use dairy-free milk like unsweetened almond milk or another non-dairy milk if you are dairy-free

Ingredient Notes:

Photos of the ingredients to make baked oatmeal.
  • Certified Gluten Free Oats - Use rolled oats and not quick oats. Quick oats are okay in a pinch, but your baked oatmeal will be mushier.
  • Eggs - Use size large
  • Bananas - Ripe bananas are best. To ripen bananas quickly, place them into a paper bag the day before.
  • Non-Dairy Milk - Use any non-dairy milk or regular milk.
  • Maple Syrup - Use real maple syrup. Check this list to ensure your maple syrup is gluten free. 
  • Apple sauce - Use regular or unsweetened applesauce.
  • Butter - I recommend using unsalted butter. If you are dairy-free, a plant-based butter is fine to use.
  • Mix-Ins - I used raisins and pecans; you can use any mix-ins. See below for some yummy ideas.

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

Step 2: Add the gluten free rolled oats to the wet ingredients.

Step 3: Mix well and allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes. This will help the oats soften by absorbing the liquid. Preheat the oven to 350º F.

Step 4: Pour the oatmeal mixture into a greased 9x13 dish. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Serve warm with oatmeal drizzled on top.

  • Top it with my homemade Old-Fashioned Vanilla Sauce.

    Do bananas have to be used in this recipe? Could something else be substituted for the bananas?
