Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup unsweetened plant milk ( I used oat milk)
- 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Swirl
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon oat flour (or blend oats into flour)
Simple Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened plant milk
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish. I used a 6×9 inch rectangular baking dish, but you could use a shallow 8×8 baking dish. The smaller the baking dish the thicker the oats.
- Add the oats to a large bowl.
- Add the banana, plant milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the banana milk mixture into the bowl with the oats. And stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, combine melted vegan butter, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and oat flour.
- Add the oats to the baking pan, then drizzle/spoon the butter cinnamon mixture over top of the entirety of the oats. Swirl the cinnamon butter with a butter knife.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. Let the oatmeal cool for about 15-20 minutes before icing and slicing.
- While the oatmeal is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, plant milk, and vanilla until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Spread the icing over baked oats, allow the icing to set for about 15 minutes for that glazed cinnamon roll effect, then slice and serve.

If you want thicker oat squares, you can double the recipe or use a smaller baking pan, however, if you do so, I would layer the oats and the cinnamon swirl layer rather than swirl the cinnamon sugar throughout.
