Vegan Baked Oatmeal (11 Ways!)

In a mixing bowl, mix together the ground chia seeds and water, allow it to sit for 5 minutes to form a paste.

Whisk the almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup and applesauce into the prepared chia seed mixture.

Add remaining ingredients, only adding 1 cup blueberries and reserving    remaining blueberries for the top, gently fold to combine.

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the baking dish, top with reserved blueberries. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Remove and allow the baked oatmeal to cool and set for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Serve topped with whipped coconut cream, drizzle of maple syrup or toasted almonds.
