Delicious Toppings for Your Baked Oats
Just like you add special toppings to your morning oats, baked oats also have lots of possibilities for flavor variations. You can combine different fruits, nuts, vegan yogurt, nut butters, and special toppings (such as chocolate chips, maple syrup or another natural sweetener, or even cookie crumbs). Here are some delicious combo ideas for your vegan baked oats:
- Raspberry & almond: Add the raspberries and almonds to the uncooked blended mixture before you transfer it to the oven.
- Blueberry, banana & peanut butter: Add the blueberries and banana slices to the blended mixture before you transfer it to the oven as well. Once your oats are baked, top them with some homemade peanut butter.
- Chocolate chips: If you are a chocolate chip cookie lover, you should give this one a try. Add the chocolate chips before you transfer your mixture to the oven. You can also add a fruit (such as banana or strawberry), for a more nutritious breakfast.
- Strawberry, walnuts & chocolate: If you’d like your baked oats to look and taste like a vegan brownie, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder and blend alongside the other ingredients. Add walnuts to the mixture before baking your oats, and then top it with some strawberry slices.
