Happy Sunday everyone! Today I’m sharing this Chai and Pear Baked Oatmeal, a perfectly meal-preppable breakfast for the week. I love chai spices and they just scream holidays to me. They bring such a great warmth in this cooler weather, plus they pair so well with the pears in this baked, sliceable oatmeal.

Store and Freeze Baked Oatmeal

You can store baked oatmeal in the refrigerator or freezer, and it’s a perfect meal prep breakfast!

  • Refrigerator: Once the baked oatmeal has completely cooled, cover the entire baking dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap before transferring it to the refrigerator. It will stay good covered in the refrigerator for 6-7 days.
  • Freezer: Once the baked oatmeal has completely cooled, cut it into 6 slices and wrap each slice in foil or wax paper. You can also freeze the entire baked oatmeal (with the baking dish if it’s freezer safe)- just wrap it well, minimizing the amount of air between the baked oatmeal and the wrap, then place it in the freezer.

Re-heating and Serving Baked Oatmeal

To reheat from frozen: The best way to reheat from frozen is to remove the wrapped slice from the freezer the night before you plan to eat it and place it in the refrigerator. It will mostly thaw overnight, then when you’re ready to eat it, place the unwrapped slice of baked oatmeal on a microwave safe dish and microwave it at 30 second intervals for 1-2 minutes. To reheat the entire baked oatmeal, cover it with foil and stick it in the oven for about 20 minutes at 350°F.

Hot or cold: I prefer to eat my baked oatmeal warm, so I just reheat it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds before serving. You can totally eat it cold if that’s what you prefer though! I also love to serve mine with some nice cold almond milk in a bowl with fresh berries.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this Chai and Pear Baked Oatmeal at home:

  • Rolled oats – I love to see the whole oats in my baked oatmeal, but don’t worry – they’re baked to perfect tenderness! Other types of oats like quick oats or steel cut oats will behave differently, so I don’t recommend swapping this ingredient.
  • Milk – Use whatever neutral tasting milk you prefer! I used almond milk, which doesn’t have a strong flavor. Some non-dairy milks have a really strong flavor or are overly sweet – I’d stay away from those in this recipe.
  • Applesauce – Adds volume, sweetness, and moisture without watering the batter down.
  • Eggs – These are the glue that bring the dough together and add a bit of protein too. Like the melted butter, egg yolks also add some much needed fat to keep the baked oatmeal tender.
  • Pears – I recommend Bosc pears for this recipe since they are sweet but firm and hold up well in baking applications. You could also use apples if you prefer.
  • Protein powder – I used a plant based protein powder for this recipe, but you could also use a whey/casein blend. If using dairy protein instead, just be sure to decrease the amount of almond milk by about 1/4 cup.
  • Spices – To achieve that chai flavor here, we’re using lots of spices AND a few tea bags brewed into the almond milk. Don’t be shy with the spices!
  • Baking powder – This gives the oatmeal bake a good rise as it cooks, plus helps add air in the final product, meaning it’s less dense.
  • Maple syrup – For a touch of sweetness, plus maple syrup helps make the baked oatmeal more tender. You could also use honey or light brown sugar if you prefer.
  • Melted butter – Adds some much needed fat to the baked oatmeal, keeping it from being dry and crumbly. You could also use peanut butter or coconut oil if you’d prefer to stay away from butter. If you’re not worried about the macros, throw in an extra tablespoon for even more tender and delicious baked oatmeal.
  • Maple extract – You could always use vanilla instead if that’s what you have on hand, but I love how maple extract helps to reinforce the fall flavors in this baked oatmeal.

Prep: 15 minutes mins
Cook: 40 minutes mins
Total: 55 minutes mins
Servings: 6 servings
Rate Pin Print
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups rolled oats, (216 grams)
  • 2 scoops PE Science Select Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder, (59 grams)
  • 3 chai tea bags
  • 1/2 tsp each: baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp each: cardamom, nutmeg, all spice
  • 1 1/2 cups Bosc pear, chopped, (220 grams)
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, (8 fl oz)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, (183 grams)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, (2 fl oz)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, (42 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp maple extract

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×11" casserole dish with butter or coconut oil and set aside.
  • Heat almond milk to the point of almost boiling, then add tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove bags and allow almond milk to cool.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix in chopped pears. In another bowl, whisk wet ingredients until combined, being careful to whisk in the hot milk slowly to avoid cooking the eggs. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until combined. Pour into greased casserole dish and spread evenly. If desired, press a few pecans into the top of the mixture.
  • Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes or until no longer very soft to the touch in the center. Serve with maple syrup and whipped cream, if desired.
