Save Recipe
Orange Poppyseed Oats are a delightful way to brighten your mornings. The sweet and tangy orange flavour pairs perfectly with the nutty poppyseeds, creating a harmonious blend in every bite. These orange baked oats are both nutritious and delicious, giving you the energy you need to tackle the day ahead.Note - measurements can be approximate.
Equipment
- Square Baking Dish, 10inx 2.5in / 26 x 6.5cm (cooking time may need to be adjusted if using different size)
Ingredients
- ½ cup banana, mashed, approx.1 (Note 1 for substitutions)
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup protein powder, (or flour), vegan recommended, see Note 3
- 1 egg, Note 2 for substitutions
- ¼ cup poppyseeds
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk, (Note 4 for substitutions)
- 1 orange, cubed (retain juices)
Instructions
Prepare ingredients
- Preheat your oven to 160°C/320°F and prepare an oven-safe pan by coating with small amount of oil/butter or lining with baking powder
- Halve the 1 orange, lightly squeeze out excess juice into a bowl, then cube. Set both aside.Juicing first is optional, but it makes the cubing less messy
- With the orange juice, mash ½ cup banana and mix with 1 egg.
- Add 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup protein powder, ¼ cup poppyseeds, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup milk. Mix well
- Gently mix in the orange cubes.
- Add the mixture to the pan and flatten surface.
Bake
- Bake for 30-50 minutes depending on how gooey or cakey you prefer it (See Note 5)
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing, then top with favourite toppings and serve.
Notes
Note 1 - Banana
You can substitute with approx. ¼ - ½ cup applesauce or yoghurt.
Note 2 - Egg
For an egg-free option, use a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water and let sit for 10 minutes).
Note 3 - Protein Powder
I recommend a neutral or vanilla flavour. Vegan is best as it acts the most similar to flour. It can change from brand to brand so adjust with more liquid/oats depending on how much liquid it absorbs.
If not using, substitute with equal amounts flour.
Note 4 - Milk
Use milk of your preference. Nutrition information based off cows milk.
Note 5 - Cooking Time
Cooking time based on a Square medium casserole approx. 24x24cm. If using a larger one, decrease the amount of time. If using a smaller one, increase the amount of time. This will also vary depending on how "cakey" or "gooey" you want the baked oats. 30 minutes using the above casserole will make it really gooey, 50 minutes will make it more cakey. I like mine in between which is why I state 40 minutes if you like the texture in the pictures.
Serve with
Yoghurt, Fresh fruit, Homemade Raspberry Chia Jam.
Storing
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
Reheating
Enjoy cold or reheat in microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Cut the baked oatmeal into portions, wrap tightly in parchment/baking paper, foil, or in a ziplock bag or vacuum sealer bag. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
