Healthy Sticky Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal

This cinnamon roll vegan baked oatmeal recipe is so good, my friends! It tastes like an actual cinnamon roll and it’s perfect topped with some homemade cream cheese icing or protein cream cheese icing.

I’ve made plenty of cream cheese icings in my day so here are some options:

Powdered Sugar: This dreamy cream cheese icing recipe is the same one I use for my Healthy Sugar Cookies, Healthy Carrot Cake and Paleo Carrot Cake Muffins.

Maple Syrup: I use this cream cheese icing recipe in my melt in your mouth Gluten-Free Monkey Bread Recipe.

Protein Powder: It’s your lucky day, because this protein cream cheese icing is found in THIS recipe! (find it at the bottom in the recipe card)

So what makes this cinnamon roll baked oatmeal healthy? Here’s the shortened version:

Baked Oatmeal Without Eggs or Milk

This cinnamon roll vegan baked oatmeal recipe uses absolutely no eggs or regular milk! We use plant based milk as listed above. Feel free to use any milk you have on hand though! And even if you don’t have milk, you can sub with good ole H2O (water). The oats and protein powder make this oatmeal bake soft, chewy, and slightly fluffy without having to add any eggs.

As I said above, you don’t need any eggs or flax eggs for this baked oatmeal recipe. It’s completely vegan and plant based. The beauty of this oatmeal recipe is that you can use whatever protein powder or milk you have on hand! Even if you don’t have milk, you can sub it for all water. That’s how easy and simple it is!

This high protein baked oatmeal recipe is made with my very favorite vegan vanilla protein powder. I use this protein powder in my Matcha Overnight Oats too. Another solid, healthy, breakfast recipe.

Cinnamon Roll Vegan Baked Oatmeal (Easy!)

Cinnamon Roll Vegan Baked Oatmeal

This soft and chewy Cinnamon Roll Vegan Baked Oatmeal tastes like the sweet sticky buns you know and love! Each square is only 125 calories with 6.1 grams of protein! Just 7 simple ingredients and you only need the baking dish to make it!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Mashed Banana (about 2 medium very ripe bananas) (See Note 5 for substitutions)
  • 2 Cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (great gluten-free brand
  • 2 Scoops (about ½ Cup) Vanilla Plant Based Protein Powder (I use this brand (See Note 3 for Sub Options)
  • ¼ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
  • ½ Tbs Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • 1 Cup Plant Based Milk + 1¼ Cup Water (See Note 1)

Optional: Protein Cream Cheese Icing

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. In a 2 quart baking pan mash the banana with the back of a fork. Add all other ingredients into baking dish and stir until mixture is combined.

3. Place in the oven to bake at 350 F. for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

4. Optional: Make the cream cheese icing by combining softened cream cheese, vanilla protein powder, and plant based milk until smooth. You can use a fork, hand mixer, or standing mixer to do this.

5. Once done baking, let oatmeal cool for a few minutes or until set and serve with protein cream cheese icing, fresh berries, banana slices, nut butter, or your favorite milk! 

6. Store in the fridge for up to a week and enjoy a premade healthy breakfast all week long!

Notes

  1. You can use any liquid of choice for this recipe. I use a combination of plain unsweetened almond milk and water to make the oats thick and creamy. You can swap the milk for all water or do a different combination. I have found that this combo works perfectly though!
  2. Most oats are gluten-free, just make sure by checking the packaging! I love this brand.
  3. Any plant based protein powder works! If you’re using unflavored or unsweetened protein powder, I suggest adding honey or maple syrup to taste. I DON'T recommend using whey protein powder because it can cause a chewy, almost crispy texture. I've had people use whey that love it still, but personally, I would avoid whey for these texture reasons.
  4. Cream Cheese Icing: You may need to add more or less plant based milk depending on the protein powder you use. Keep adding small amounts of milk or water until you get desired icing consistency. 
  5. Don’t have bananas? You can sub the banana with ½ Cup of your favorite yogurt or 3/4 Cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce. Adjust the amount of honey/maple syrup to taste if needed.

    This is one of my favorite SHH recipes! It really is like a healthier, heartier cinnamon roll that doesn’t leave you hungry immediately after or sugar crashing at noon. The frosting isn’t necessary because it’s yummy on its own BUT definitely adds some flair to weekday oatmeal. Make this on Sunday night and keep in the fridge for weekday breakfasts!

      You are the best! I’m so glad you love this baked oatmeal recipe! It’s one of my favorites for the week too 🙂

        Can i skip the protein, or will that completely ruin the recipe?

        • Claire

          Hi Nicole! for this cinnamon roll baked oatmeal flavor, the vanilla protein really gives it sweetness and that distinct birthday cake flavor. I would recommend trying one of my other baked oatmeal flavors that calls for “unflavored protein.” That way you can just omit the protein powder and use a little less liquid 🙂 If you really wanted to try this birthday cake flavor without the protein, I would suggest adding more sweetener such as honey or maple syrup and maybe a bit more almond extract and vanilla extract. Let me know what you end up trying!
