Banana Spice Cake Baked Oatmeal with Cream Cheese
You know what’s delicious? Banana spice cake with cream cheese frosting.
I fell in love with that cake during my sophomore year of college. The dining hall would serve a variety of desserts every evening, and I loved when they offered this cake. My roommate/cousin (hi, Candice!) would always grab a slice when this was available.
Now that I like vegan cream cheese, I was so excited to finally make this oatmeal. I have to say, out of all my cream cheese oatmeals (I have many more, and they will be posted in the upcoming weeks!), this one is my favorite.

Cheesecake Baked Oatmeal
I gave up on this recipe ages ago. As I mentioned in my Berry Cream Cheese Baked Oatmeal, I have been trying to master a cheesecake oatmeal since 2013! Now that I like the taste of Tofutti, and I’ve discovered the trick of adding zucchini, I figured it was time to try it again.
I think one thing hindering my progress was that my mom makes amazing cheesecake. Even though I haven’t had it since my vegetarian days, I still recall the creamy, tangy, sweet, rich flavor of those perfect cakes. Mommy, I miss your cheesecake!!! (more…)

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Baked Oatmeal
I have many seasonal recipes on “The List” that go unpublished every year. These ideas stay permanently unchecked on The List, waiting for its designated “food season” to make its big debut, but never seeing the light.*
*Because I’m lazy.
Such was the case with last year’s Peppermint Brownie Baked Oatmeal. I always wanted to make this during the holiday season, but it took multiple years to actually get it done.*

Brownie Baked Oatmeal with Matcha Cashew Frosting
Another brownie recipe, Lauren? Really?
On second thought, I doubt you guys mind. 🙂
Half a year ago, I finally bought some matcha powder online. Truthfully, I’m not the world’s biggest fan of matcha. I think it needs a lot of sweetener to taste good, and as you know, my digestive system can’t handle sweets. However, after spending all that money on it, and then seeing it camp out in the back of my cupboard for months, I felt guilty. I needed to make another recipe with it, or it was going to keep haunting me.
But what would I make?!
Tres Leches Baked Oatmeal Parfait (with Cashew-Yogurt Cream)
Consider this more an homage to the real deal. Actual tres leches cake involves a ton of dairy ingredients that is elusive to us humble vegans. I know there are recipes for vegan sweetened condensed milk out there, but my motto is always simplicity. Considering I already had to soak cashews for this recipe, I’m not about to make a sweetened condensed plant-based milk as well. I HAVE MY LIMITS. 🙂
I considered making this just a regular baked oatmeal with the cashew-yogurt cream on top, but I decided it would be more fun to make it as a parfait. That’s an excuse for more cream and stuff. 😉 (more…)

Tahini Cookie Baked Oatmeal
So tahini has been a learning experience for me. My first taste was one of . . . bewilderment. I was taken aback by its bitterness and wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. I think I made some great recipes with the mocha poached pear and raspberries and chocolate and the apple and honey. But I still wasn’t sure how I felt about tahini in general.
This baked oatmeal gave me a new appreciation for tahini. Inspired by this recipe for tahini cookies, I made a baked oatmeal similar to my Peanut Butter Cookie Baked Oatmeal, but with tahini. Would you believe that I liked it just as much? (more…)
Lemon Baked Oatmeal with Raspberry Filling
As I announced on Wednesday’s guest post, Monica from MyPinkRecipeBook.com and I are currently engaging in a recipe swap as we embark on our individual summer traveling. Make sure you check out those Four-Ingredient Fudgy Oat Bars! They’re no-bake!
For my contribution to our recipe swap, I made this baked oatmeal inspired by layer cakes. The baked oatmeal is lemon-flavored, and it’s brought together in the center by sweet and simple raspberry jam. As always, this recipe is vegan, sweetened by fruit (except for the jam), and uses simple pantry ingredients. (more…)
Triple Chocolate Baked Oatmeal
“Lauren!” you might have gasped. “Triple chocolate? For breakfast? What happened to your nutrition concerns?”
No fear. It sounds much unhealthier than it actually is. In fact, I was so curious, that I entered the ingredients list into a nutritional calculator to see how this stacked up. Considering how I rarely do this, I was stunned at how great the results were. Despite all the chocolate, it gives you nearly 30 grams of fiber (what?!), 18 grams of protein, and a laundry list of vitamins and minerals, all for under 500 calories. Unbelievable.
Of course, the one hit you will take is in the sugar department, but I think that’s the choice you make when you decide to put chocolate chips in your oatmeal. 🙂
Of course, it does contain chocolate chips, so it is a bit indulgent for breakfast, but that’s all relative, right?
If you make this with a banana like I did, this baked oatmeal is naturally sweetened, packed with nutrients, and filling. If you’re not a fan of banana-flavored chocolate, you could sub hearty sweet potatoes, rich avocado, or neutral-flavored zucchini. (more…)

Lemon White Chocolate Lava Baked Oatmeal
When people hear “lava cake,” they immediately picture a brownie-esque dessert that oozes molten fudge. I’m hear to shake things up.
What better way to enjoy a springtime lava cake than with citrus and white chocolate?
Strawberry Apricot Mint Breakfast Cobbler
Check out this newest addition to my breakfast cobbler family:
Before I give you the recipe, let me indulge in some personal reflection.
I’ve had some more time here and there lately. My grad school courses finished for the semester, and I instantly felt a weight lifted. Suddenly, a had a wealth of hours that could be dedicated to whatever I wanted. At first, they were spent lying in bed watching stand-up comedy. I needed to recuperate. Badly. (more…)
