Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats use certified gluten-free if needed
1 cup cold brew coffee or cooled brewed coffee
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
¼ cup pure maple syrup plus extra for serving
¼ cup natural peanut butter or almond butter plus extra for topping
1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch square baking dish.
Place the oats in a large mixing bowl. Add the coffee, almond milk, maple syrup, nut butter, melted coconut oil, ground flaxseed, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Stir everything together until the mixture is fully combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow it to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Slice into 6 portions and serve warm with extra nut butter or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Rolled oats
Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture for baked oatmeal. Quick oats or steel-cut oats are not recommended because they require different liquid amounts and baking times.
Milk options
Unsweetened almond milk keeps the flavor light, but any milk works well, including dairy milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
Sweetener choices
Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but other liquid sweeteners such as honey, agave, or monk fruit syrup can also be used.
Nut butter substitutes
Any smooth nut butter can be used. For a nut-free option, sunflower seed butter or tahini are good alternatives. The nut butter can also be left out if preferred.
Oil alternatives
If coconut oil is not available, butter, ghee, avocado oil, or olive oil can be used instead. The recipe can also work without added oil, though the texture may be slightly different.
Flaxseed replacement
Ground flaxseed helps bind the mixture. Chia seeds can be used instead. If a vegan option is not required, one egg can replace the flaxseed.
