INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

Old-fashioned rolled oats – Use certified gluten-free oats if you avoid gluten. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they can sometimes be processed in facilities with gluten.

Coffee – Cold brew or regular brewed coffee that has cooled down both work well. This gives the oatmeal its rich flavor and caffeine boost.

Unsweetened almond milk – Any non-dairy milk can be used, such as oat milk or soy milk.

Maple syrup – A natural sweetener that adds warmth and flavor. Use pure maple syrup for the best taste.

Peanut butter or almond butter – Adds creaminess, healthy fats, and a mild nutty flavor. Choose natural nut butter made with simple ingredients.

Ground flaxseed – Adds fiber and helps hold the mixture together.

Coconut oil – Keeps the oatmeal moist and soft.

Vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor.

Baking powder – Helps the oatmeal rise slightly while baking.

Sea salt – Balances and brings out the flavors.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE BAKED OATMEAL

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, add all the ingredients. Stir well until everything is fully combined.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let the oatmeal cool for about 10–15 minutes before slicing. Cut into six pieces and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

HOW TO SERVE

You can enjoy this baked oatmeal on its own, or add simple toppings to change it up.

Drizzle extra nut butter and maple syrup on top for added sweetness.

Make a simple coffee glaze by mixing espresso powder or brewed coffee with powdered sugar, vanilla, and a splash of almond milk.

Serve it with hard-boiled eggs or Greek yogurt for extra protein.

Pair it with a protein shake if you want a more filling breakfast.

For a dessert-style option, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoon of whipped cream.

It can also be served at brunch alongside dishes like a dairy-free spinach quiche, fresh fruit salad, and mimosas.

STORING AND REHEATING

This recipe is great for meal prep because it stores well.

In the refrigerator: Let the oatmeal cool completely. Cover the baking dish or transfer slices to an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.

In the freezer: Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. For easy reheating, cut into portions and wrap them individually before freezing.

To reheat the whole dish, cover it with foil and warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes.

To reheat a single slice, place it in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes. You can also microwave it for about 1 minute. Add your toppings after reheating and serve warm.
