Strawberry Baked Oats Ingredients
- Milk: You may use regular unsweetened oat or almond milk in these strawberry baked oats. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, you can use regular milk.
- Butter: Use melted vegan butter or coconut oil in these strawberry baked oats. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, you can use regular butter.
- Strawberries: I recommend using freshly chopped strawberries in this recipe. You can also use frozen strawberries, but I recommend thawing them first.
- Sugar: We use a small amount of regular cane sugar or purecane sugar-free substitute to sweeten these oats.
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Powder: Baking powder will help the oats get nice and fluffy.
- Red Food Coloring: To give these strawberry oats a pretty pink color, I recommend using red food dye. Here is a link to a plant-based brand that I like!
- Oats: Use regular or gluten-free old fashioned oats or quick oats.
How To Make Strawberry Baked Oats
Step 1: Preheat the oven. Spray 4 ramekins with baking spray. Add the almond milk, strawberries, sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and food coloring into a blender and mix until smooth.
Step 2: Pour the blended oats into the ramekins and bake in the oven until the oats have risen and are lightly golden around the edges.
Step 3: While the oats bake, make the vegan cream cheese frosting by mixing the softened vegan butter, vegan cream cheese, and powdered sugar together until smooth. Drizzle the icing on top of the baked oats and serve warm topped with strawberries. Enjoy!

Is it possible to make this recipe in an 8x8 pan vs the 4 ramekins? Or maybe an overnight oats version in mason jars?
Jillian Glenn says
Absolutely! An 8x8 pan would work well!
