Maple Oat Bake

Courses: Breakfast

Description

Start your morning with a warm, comforting breakfast that’s hearty, protein-packed, and lightly sweet. This Maple Oat Bake combines wholesome oats, a touch of nut butter, and just enough maple syrup to make every bite satisfying. Perfect for weekend brunch, meal prep, or a cozy weekday breakfast. The recipe is versatile and forgiving. You can stir in fresh or frozen berries, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or unsweetened coconut for added texture and flavor. Cinnamon and a hint of almond extract add gentle warmth, while eggs and milk give it structure and protein.

Ingredients

1 cup oat beverage (or almond milk, soy milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, dairy milk, or another milk of choice)
2 large eggs
½ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup creamy nut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon coarse salt
½ cup mix-ins of choice (berries, chocolate chips, sliced banana, diced apple, chopped nuts, dried fruit, unsweetened coconut)

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until smooth. *Tip: warming the nut butter in the microwave for 30 seconds makes mixing easier.*

4. Bake for 35 minutes or until set. Let cool 5–10 minutes. Slice into 6 pieces and serve, drizzled with extra maple syrup if desired.

Note

* Any milk listed can replace oat beverage; adjust sweetness if using a sweetened plant milk. * Warming the nut butter slightly helps it mix evenly into the batter. * This dish keeps well in the fridge for a few days and can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
