This delicious recipe comes from our friend Caitlin at Plant.Well.  Here is what she has to say about these amazing Easy Vegan Baked Oatmeal Bars.

These vegan baked oatmeal bars are so easy to make, are packed with flavor and are great for meal prepping!

They have flavors of maple, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spices, along with real pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.

So delicious and all you have to do is mix everything in one bowl, bake and cut into bars!

I love the simple ingredients, cozy spiced flavor and added fiber to my day – it also keeps me full all morning!

Pumpkin Pie Spice Baked Oatmeal

Baked pumpkin oatmeal is always a great way to start the day, and with these bars you don’t have to worry about heating up the stove or having oatmeal overflowing in the microwave!

It’s also perfect if you aren’t normally a fan of oatmeal’s texture – these bars get a slight crisp on top and are heartier than oatmeal in a bowl.

This pumpkin vegan baked oatmeal recipe is ideal for serving to a larger group; it’s literally in the oven in no time and it’s so fun to have a bunch of toppings on the table to enjoy with your oatmeal bars!

For this recipe, I used Bakery On Main’s Organic Rolled Oats!

Their oats are incredibly delicious and perfect for baking with (fall baking with oats is my favorite).

The oats are Certified Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Organic by Baystate Organic Certifier, and Vegan.

The sourcing process for these oats meet stringent requirements to produce pure, gluten-free oats that have passed the highest of standards. You’ll be able to tell the difference in quality in your oatmeal and baking recipes!


How to Make Baked Oatmeal Bars

Making No Egg Baked Oats

To make these super easy vegan baked oatmeal bars, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.

Then, spray an 8×8 baking pan with non-stick spray or oil.

Now, grab a bowl and add all the wet ingredients, including the sugar, and whisk until smooth and combined.

Then add the remaining ingredients and whisk again until combined.

That’s it – the easiest oatmeal bar batter ready to bake!

Baking Oatmeal with Pumpkin

Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes – you’ll know it’s done when the center is set and the top is a nice golden brown.

You can also gently press down on the middle of the bars, and if it springs back up they’re done.

Let the oatmeal cool and then cut into nine pieces and enjoy.

My favorite way to enjoy these bars is with banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup!

Nuts, vegan yogurt, coconut flakes, granola or berries would also be great toppings!

How to Store Oatmeal Bars

These bars can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to five days.


Vegan Baked Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

These vegan baked oats have all the delicious flavor of those maple and brown sugar oatmeal packages you can buy at the store.

However, these are homemade with simple ingredients, and you can even control the sugar, spices and flavor to your liking!

I found these to be just the right amount of sweet, but they are so easy to customize, you could even add some chocolate chips or nuts if you’d like!
