Ingredients You’ll Need, Substitutions & Notes
Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions(scroll down).
- Rolled oats: I recommend whole old-fashioned style oats for a hearty texture. If you eat gluten-free, choose gluten-free oats.
- Baking powder: Make sure it’s not expired or too old. This will help to Lift it all up! To avoid a chemical aftertaste, make sure your baking powder is labeled aluminum free. I usually use the Clabber Girl brand, and though the ingredients state aluminum, I’ve never noticed an aluminum aftertaste.
- Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half.
- Milk: Use the variety of milk you drink. I personally love using oat milk.
- Coconut Oil: This will help to avoid a rubbery texture. You can also use melted butter.
- Sweetener: To sweeten your egg-free baked oatmeal, you can use brown sugar, maple syrup, coconut sugar, or even honey.
- Binder and Flavor: I used pumpkin puree for this fall-inspired version. You can also use mashed banana or applesauce. For a more neutral flavored oatmeal, use 2 flax eggs.
- Add-ins: I added chia seed, dried cranberries, coconut, and almonds. See below for more add-in ideas.

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions(scroll down).
Step 1 – Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Baking Dish
Preheat the oven to 50º F (180º C). Lightly grease an 8×8-in baking dish.
Step 2 – Combine All the Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined. Transfer mixture to baking dish.

Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, or until the oatmeal is firm and lightly golden. Sprinkle with more dried cranberries and shaved coconut, if desired. Served warm or at room temperature.
Change It Up
I love that this recipe is highly adaptable. The version I shared today is perfect for fall since it has pumpkin and cranberries, but you can totally adapt it to your taste or the season.
Base Ingredients
The base ingredients to make egg-free baked oatmeal are rolled oats, baking powder, salt, milk, and coconut oil. Use the same quantities called in the recipe card.
Sweetener (pick one)
To sweeten your egg-free baked oatmeal, you can use brown sugar, maple syrup, coconut sugar, or even honey. You can control the amount the sugar in this recipe. Add 1/3 cup of the sweetener of your choice for a slightly sweet taste, or ½ cup to add more sweetness.
Binder and Flavor (pick one)
You can use 1 cup of pumpkin pure, mashed banana, or applesauce to bind all the ingredients together. For a more neutral flavored oatmeal, use 2 flax eggs. To make 2 flax eggs, combine 2 tablespoons of golden flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture rest for 5 – 8 minutes to thicken.
Add-Ins (up to 1 cup of one or a combination)
- Nuts: chopped pecans, walnuts, cashews, macadamia, or almonds.
- Fresh Fruits: chopped apples, peaches, pears, bananas, or berries.
- Dried Fruits: raisins, apricots, coconut, or cranberries.

- Spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice.
- Vanilla Extract
Storing & Freezing Instructions
This oatmeal keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for 5 days. When I have leftovers, I love cutting the cooled baked oatmeal into individual servings and wrapping each in plastic wrap for a quick breakfast to grab.
To freeze, bake, and cool oatmeal. Cover tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
To reheat, simply heat the portion you need in the microwave for 30 – 60 sec.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, for a gluten-free version, use gluten-free oats.
Can I make the oatmeal batter ahead of time?
No, that is not something I recommend. Do not make the oatmeal batter ahead of time. The oats will soak up all the liquid! Whisk it all together, then bake right away.
Can I make this recipe into cups?
For individual portions, I recommend using my Eggless Apple Oatmeal Baked Cups (Flourless)
