Welcome in Fall with this sweet, healthy, and comforting vegan baked oatmeal recipe! Click To TweetThis recipe will have your entire home smelling amazing! It’s made with gluten-free oats, raisins, organic cane sugar, cinnamon and my long-term supporter and partner Karuna Empower Protein and Fiber Drink!
Karuna’s Empower Protein and Fiber
Karuna’s new Empower Protein and Fiber is part of the Superfood Whole Plant Smoothie line of drinks. These line of drinks contain prebiotics and a lot of plant-based protein (9 grams of protein per bottle!).
Now if you are not familiar with prebiotics, without getting too technical, let’s just say prebiotics are a type of dietary fiber that probiotics eat. Probiotics are live bacteria that live in your gut and the feed just like you and me (Isn’t that cool?) So the healthier your probiotics are the healthier you will be (your gut will thank you). Read Prebiotics and Gut Flora for more information.
I used this same delicious healthy smoothie in my Spelt Banana Bread! This drink is rich and naturally sweetened with banana puree and cherry juice. It gives this vegan oatmeal baked a richness that will keep you full till lunch!
Here’s how to make them: (READ FULL RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR FULL INSTRUCTIONS)

Vegan Curve Building Ingredient
Gluten Free Old Fashioned Oats is the Vegan With Curves star of this dish! Old fashioned oats are gluten-free by nature but they are often cross-contaminated with wheat. So if you have a serious sensitivity of gluten make sure you get old fashioned oats labeled gluten-free. One cup of cook gluten-free old-fashioned has 19 grams of curvy carbohydrates.
To save time make this apple vegan baked oatmeal the night before for quick on the go breakfast! Perfect for a vegan meal prep because it is enough to eat all week long! Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
Tips and Variations
- You can swap out vegan butter for coconut oil.
- Though the Karuna's Empower Protein and Fiber give a nutritional boost and flavor profile I love, if you don't have access to Karuna's Empower Protein and Fiber use your favorite plant-based milk. (Karuna's is expanding to more regions so make sure you check your local Whole Foods!)
- Xylitol is a natural sugar that is low in calories, doesn't spike blood sugar, and used in many oral hygiene products as it is known to help prevent dental decay. You may substitute organic cane sugar if you don't have access to xylitol.
- This will also be great with pears!
