In my opinion there are only 2 kinds of breakfasts worth getting out of bed for; ones that are already made and you just have to heat up or ones that someone else is making for you. And, in the case of the latter, hopefully they are delivering it straight to you in your warm bed and you don’t even have to get up!
Although I only have 2 oatmeal bake recipes on this site, we eat a lot of oatmeal bakes in this house. I love them because you can get really creative and add any flavor you like. I have this ginger peach flavored oatmeal bake that is great for the summer and then the classic peanut butter and banana oatmeal bake that is good for any time of the year! And now I’m sharing with you my favorite winter time oatmeal bake: this delicious and comforting Gingerbread Oatmeal Bake. It has all the great flavors of classic gingerbread like molasses, ground ginger and cinnamon.
I have my main oatmeal bake formula pretty down pat these days, but I did make one change to this Gingerbread Oatmeal Bake, instead of using my regular unsweetened almond milk I decided to shake things up a little bit and used the new Almond Breeze Almondmilk Cashewmilk Blend. It is so perfect for oatmeal bakes because it is a little thicker than regular almond milk and so creamy! They have a few different flavors, but the vanilla one gave this baked oatmeal such a great sweet flavor. It would also be great for smoothies, creamy soups and all of your baking needs!

Has anyone tried this with regular milk? I want to make this for someone who has a nut allergy and I am sensitive to soy so I’m wondering how it comes out with cow juice?
It would work great with regular milk!
Hahaha, SO true! My top-favourite is the breakfast someone is making for me though, which is why my husband has to get out of bed before me most days š Your gingerbread oatmeal bake looks like the perfect breakfast for chilly winter mornings, I need to get him onto that š
If someone could deliver this to me in bed I’d be all set, haha! It sounds so good and perfect for winter. I need to bake some oatmeal ASAP!
I love oatmeal bakes because you can enjoy them throughout the week! This gingerbread version sounds so good, Izzy.

Baked oatmeal is the best for lazy breakfast people like me! And especially when it’s gingerbread flavored! This looks so delicious and would be a perfect holiday breakfast. š
