Ingredient Notes:

Photos of the ingredients to make baked oatmeal.
  • 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. Place them into a paper bag the day before to ripen bananas quickly.
  • 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.

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, with high cross-contamination risks. 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

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.

      I have been baking something similiar to this for several months. I love it and have it for breakfast 3 or 4 times a week. I have made several varieties but my current favorite is to skip the bananas but add peaches. I drain and chop a large can of peaches and add it in. I warm it in the microwave and top it with a bit of whipped cream, yogurt or, my current favorite, tapioca pudding.
