Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal {No Refined Sugar, Dairy-Free Option}

Cold winter mornings beg for a hot, nutritious breakfast. Serve this easy Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal for warm, happy bellies without refined sugars or artificial ingredients! It’s super easy to make, and you can even get it ready the night before to make the morning easier.

Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal Recipe

This gingerbread baked oatmeal is full of warm spices and natural sweetness! While I’ve included a bit of molasses for that classic gingerbread flavor, the main source of sweetness is Wildly Organic Coconut Sugar. It’s made from the sap of coconut trees using a simple, traditional process:

1. Collect the sap
2. Boil it down until it begins to crystalize
3. Hand grind to break the crystalized sap down into fine granules

Have you heard this is hard on coconut trees and affects production of coconut oil and milk? Not so! Read more about the coconut sap collection process here!

Even though this warmly spiced, wholesome baked oatmeal recipe is quick to prepare and ready to eat in under an hour, some days are super busy. Mix this up the night before and pop it in the fridge and save yourself a few steps in the morning. The next day, remove the dish from the refrigerator and allow to sit on the counter while the oven is preheating. Then bake it in the oven and wait for the nostalgic gingerbread aroma to fill your kitchen.

It’s hard to wait to eat this delicious baked oatmeal! But the slices hold up better if you let it rest about 10 minutes. It will still be nice and warm, though, don’t worry. Of course, if you don’t care about nice looking slices of baked oatmeal just go on and dig right in! It tastes the same either way – absolutely delicious!

How We Eat Our Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal

First, with a bowl and a spoon… but, you can also add toppings to elevate your baked oatmeal!

• My kids like theirs with a drizzle of Wildly Organic Coconut Syrup and some milk. Dairy-free milks work just fine if you need that.
• Top with a dollop of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of crushed Wildly Organic Pecans, and a drizzle of Wildly Organic Coconut Syrup. The yogurt provides additional protein, the nuts a lovely crunch, and the coconut syrup brings caramel-like sweetness to the party.
• Top with a pat of butter or coconut oil and a sprinkle of Wildly Organic Coconut Sugar.
• Don’t limit this recipe to just breakfast! It also makes a delicious dessert topped with whipped cream, pecans, and coconut syrup. Or try it cold later on as a quick and easy snack.

Make our gingerbread baked oatmeal part of your holiday breakfast tradition! This naturally sweetened and warmly spiced baked oatmeal recipe can easily be multiplied to feed a crowd. Serve it as part of your holiday breakfast buffet, take it to a brunch potluck, or even just make it part of your winter meal rotation.
