Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup (104g) pure maple syrup
  • Zest from 1 large orange
  • ½ cup (100g) freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, vegan butter, or melted and cooled coconut oil
  • 1 ¼ cup (300g) unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (190g) old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Orange Yogurt Topping

  • 2 tablespoons plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or substitute dairy-free yogurt or softened cream cheese)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (or substitute maple syrup or honey)
  • 1-2 teaspoons fresh orange juice, to thin
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan with oil or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking, and set it aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pure maple syrup, orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, melted butter (or vegan alternative), unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir everything together until the oats and dry ingredients are evenly incorporated into the wet mixture.
  4. Transfer and Bake: Pour the oatmeal batter into the prepared 9×9 inch baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 55 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch.
  5. Cool and Prepare Glaze: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. During this time, prepare the orange yogurt topping by mixing the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding extra orange juice if a thinner consistency is desired.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the orange yogurt glaze evenly over the warm baked oatmeal. Cut into 6 slices and serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful breakfast treat.

Notes

  • For a chocolatey twist, stir in ⅓ cup mini or regular chocolate chips (dairy-free if preferred) into the batter before baking.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if desired.
  • Use any plant-based milk or regular milk as a substitute for almond milk based on dietary preferences.
  • The orange yogurt topping can be replaced with softened cream cheese or a dairy-free alternative for variety.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
