Tasty baked oats full of veggies and flavor are the perfect healthy, make-ahead breakfast! The whole dish comes together in a pan and baking.
Almost everyone in my family prefers salty breakfast and snacks. I make my baked oats more salty than sweet versions. This is another delicious savory option for you that only uses 1 pan and makes a great breakfast snack.
This is a super quick baked oatmeal casserole, just like my other baked oatmeal recipes; I use similar ingredients like oats and non-dairy milk. Then I add lots of vegetables and some spices.
The result is a chewy oat bar filled with veggies. Think of the forbidden oatmeal “doughnut”, but cooked instead of fried and in bar form. You can also emboss the mixture. Add a little flour and make waffles!
