Funfetti Cake Batter Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Now, if you’ve come to this recipe, you are my kind of person! You love everything funfetti cake batter flavored! YAY! You’ll definitely want to save my Birthday Cake Banana Bread, Birthday Cake Steel Cut Oats, and Healthy Dunkaroos for later too. But, for now, you’re here for these oats, and I don’t blame you. 

This funfetti cake batter baked oatmeal recipe might just beat all my other baked oatmeal flavors. You seriously would never guess this recipe is actually good for you! It’s the perfect way to trick… or I mean *treat*… your little ones to a fun breakfast you can feel confident giving them! It tastes so good they will never guess it’s healthy for them!  How fun is that?! 

So what makes this funfetti cake batter 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)
• Almond & Vanilla Extract (I use these to make many funfetti cake flavored recipes)
• Banana (rich in potassium. I use them in all my baked oatmeal recipes)
• Pink Himalayan Salt (rich in minerals and less processed than table salt. Read more about the benefits of pink salt here.)

Cake Batter 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 Funfetti 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 vegan vanilla protein powder. I use this protein powder in my Matcha Overnight Oats too. And if you’re looking for more great vegan breakfast options, check out these 12 Easy Vegan Protein Breakfasts!

Funfetti Cake Batter Baked Oatmeal (Secretly Healthy)

Print

This Funfetti Cake Batter Baked Oatmeal is soft and loaded with birthday cake flavor! You would never know it’s secretly healthy, packed with protein, vegan, and gluten-free! You only need the baking dish to make it!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Medium Overripe Bananas (1 Cup Mashed Banana) (See Note 4 for substitutions)
• 2 Cups Rolled Oats (can sub quick cooking)
• 2 Scoops (about ½ Cup) Vanilla Plant Based Protein Powder (See Note 3 for Sub Options)
• 1 Cup Plant Based Milk (or Milk of Choice) + 1¼ Cup Water 
• 1½ tsp Almond Extract
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• ¼ Cup Naturally Colored Sprinkles (I use this brand)
• Opt: Dash Pink Salt

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 except sprinkles into baking dish and stir until mixture is combined.

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

4. Let baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes or until set and serve with cashew butter, protein cream cheese icing, fresh berries, banana slices, or your favorite milk! 

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

Notes

1. 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!
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. Don’t have bananas? You can sub the banana with ½ Cup of your favorite yogurt or 3/4 Cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce.
