by: claire cary
These cinnamon roll baked oats are vegan, gluten free and so easy to make. Perfect for meal prep, and tastes just like a cinnamon roll! Made with simple and wholesome ingredients you probably have on hand!
Ingredients
Oats:
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup apple sauce
- 2 cups non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Glaze:
- 4 ounces plain vegan cream cheese
- 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the oats, cinnamon, and baking powder, baking soda and salt to a bowl and mix well.
- Add in all remaining ingredients and stir together.
- Add to a 9 inch baking dish (I used a pie plate which worked well, just make sure it is at least 2 inches deep, the oats will rise a bit as they bake).
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar glaze by adding the coconut oil and almond butter to a small bowl. Microwave for about 15 seconds, then stir to combine. Add the maple syrup and cinnamon and mix well. Swirl about 1/2 the mixture onto the oats and reserve the rest for after it bakes.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean and the edges are golden brown. if you want the center to be a bit more gooey like a regular cinnamon roll, just bake for closer to 28-30 minutes.
- It will continue to set as it cools, so if you're making it ahead of time and plan to reheat, best to undercook just a bit. Drizzle on the rest of the cinnamon mixture.
- Whisk together the cream cheese and maple syrup.
- Let the oats cool slightly, then top with cream cheese glaze. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe store in the fridge for 3-5 days. To reheat, add back to the oven at 200 degrees until warm all the way through.
You can swap the apple sauce for 2 eggs if you are not vegan and looking to add more protein.
