Baked Oats Without Banana
I love starting my day with these baked oats without banana made with rolled oats, applesauce, and almond milk. It turns out moist, fluffy, and almost cake-like in texture. This recipe is healthy, easy to make, family-friendly, and ready in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients
- 1½ cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- ½ cup golden raisins can use up to 1 cup if you want a sweeter recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C. Spray a 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray / olive oil spray.
- Whisk the almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, applesauce and eggs until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Remove and allow the baked oatmeal to cool and set for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve topped with whipped coconut cream, drizzle of maple syrup or toasted almonds.
Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this recipe is to measure the wet and dry ingredients carefully and mix them just until combined. Overmixing can make the oats dense, and uneven measurements can affect the texture, so I always whisk the wet ingredients first, fold in the oats slowly.
- Use fresh baking powder: I always check that my baking powder is fresh before making the oats. Old baking powder can prevent the oats from rising properly.
- Let the batter rest: I let the batter sit for a few minutes before baking. This helps the oats absorb the liquid and creates a smoother texture.
- Grease the pan well: I make sure to oil the baking dish lightly so the oats do not stick. This makes it easier to slice and serve without breaking.
- Cool before slicing: I let the baked oats cool for at least 15 minutes after baking. This helps them firm up so the slices hold together neatly.
