Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake Baked Oatmeal Recipe
Now, if you’ve come to this recipe, you are my kind of person! You love cozy cinnamon flavors with your cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon (or really anytime of day)! YAY! You’ll definitely want to save my Apply Cinnamon Money Bread, Healthy Apple Crisp, and my Vegan Pumpkin Blondie Skillet, for later too then to meet all your cozy needs. But, for now, you’re here for these oats, and I don’t blame you.
This healthy cinnamon streusel baked oatmeal recipe is one of the more decadent flavors of all my baked oatmeal flavors. You seriously would never guess this recipe is actually good for you! It’s the perfect healthy breakfast to start the day on one of the cooler mornings. Plus, having your house smell like cinnamon coffee cake is one of the best things ever!

So what makes this coffee cake baked oatmeal healthy? Here’s the shortened version:
- Vegan plant-based protein powder (here is the brand I use and love)
- Oats (find the health benefits of oats here.)
- Plant based milk (high in potassium and iron)
- Banana (high in potassium and complex carbs. You can it use in all my baked oatmeal recipes)
- Cinnamon (antioxidant rich. Read all the benefits of cinnamon here)
- Pink Himalayan Salt (rich in minerals and less processed than table salt. Read more about the benefits of pink salt here.


Baked Oatmeal Without Eggs or Milk
This oatmeal recipe uses absolutely no eggs or regular milk! Just like in my Matcha Latte recipe, 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.
How to Make Vegan Coffee Cake Baked Oats
As I just 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 unflavored plant based protein powder. And if you’re looking for more great vegan breakfast options, check out these 12 Easy Vegan Protein Breakfasts!

Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake Baked Oatmeal

This Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake Baked Oatmeal is soft, and loaded with warm and cozy flavors! You would never know it’s secretly healthy, packed with protein, vegan, and gluten-free! Meal prep this clean eating breakfast to enjoy all week long!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Mashed Banana
- 2 Cups Rolled Oats (can sub quick cooking oats)
- ⅛ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1 Tbs Cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp Nutmeg (just a dash)
- 1½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Scoop Unflavored Plant-Based Protein Powder (See Note 3 for sub-options)
- 3-4 Tbs Pure Maple Syrup or Honey (See Note 3 if using flavored/sweetened protein powder)
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 Cup Water
Streusel Topping:
- ⅓ Cup Oat Flour (I make my own in three steps)
- ½ Cup Rolled Oats
- 2 Tbs Coconut Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- Dash Pink Salt
- 3 Tbs Cubed Cold Grass-fed Butter (can sub vegan butter or solid coconut oil)
- Optional: ½ Cup Coarsely Chopped Walnuts (or nut of choice)
Optional Maple Cream Cheese Icing
- ½ Block (4 oz) Low-Fat Cream Cheese (can sub vegan cream cheese) *softened
- 2 Tbs Grass-Fed Butter (can sub vegan butter) *softened
- 2 Tbs Pure Maple Syrup (+ more if you like sweeter frosting)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. In a 2-quart baking pan add all oatmeal ingredients and stir until mixture is well combined. Set aside while you make the streusel topping.
3. In a medium bowl, combine all streusel ingredients except cold butter and nuts (if using). Mix until well combined. Add in cold cubed butter and use a handheld pastry blender or your hands to combine ingredients until it looks like coarse crumbs.
4. Cover baked oatmeal with streusel topping and place in the oven to bake at 350 F. for 35-40 minutes until golden brown (mine is perfect after 40 minutes).
5. Optional: While the baked oatmeal is baking, make maple cream cheese icing by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl and beating on high with an electric mixer. You can also do this using a fork, just be patient until you get a very smooth consistency. If glaze is looking clumpy, place in microwave and defrost for 15 seconds and then continue mixing until smooth.
6. Let baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes or until set and serve with maple cream cheese icing, protein cream cheese icing, nut butter, fresh berries, banana slices, or your favorite milk!
7. Store in the fridge for up to a week and enjoy a premade healthy breakfast all week long!
Notes
- Liquid: 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!
- Most oats are gluten-free, just make sure by checking the packaging! I love this brand.
- Any protein powder works! If you’re using flavored or sweetened protein powder, I suggest adding less honey or maple syrup until you get desired taste. Whey protein powder may create a more spongy texture.
