Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons monk sugar (or zero calorie sugar)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (dry)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Frosting

  • 2 tablespoons fat free cream cheese
  • 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon monk sugar (or any zero calorie sugar)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the unsweetened vanilla almond milk, nonfat plain Greek yogurt, liquid egg whites, and vanilla extract. Stir in the monk sugar until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the flavors and leavening agents.
  3. Soak Oats: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly to combine. Allow the batter to soak for several hours or overnight so the oats absorb the liquid and the mixture thickens from runny to a soft batter consistency.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking pan, mini loaf pans, or a muffin tin with cooking spray. Pour the oat batter evenly into the prepared pan(s).
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the oatmeal for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer wet. The top should be slightly golden and firm to the touch.
  6. Make Frosting: While the oatmeal bakes, prepare the frosting by whisking together the fat free cream cheese, monk sugar, and 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened vanilla almond milk until smooth and runny enough to easily drizzle.
  7. Serve: Once the baked oatmeal has cooled slightly, drizzle the frosting over the top to mimic the classic cinnamon roll icing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can prepare the oat batter the night before and bake it fresh in the morning for a quick breakfast.
  • Use a zero-calorie sugar substitute like monk fruit sweetener to keep the recipe low-calorie.
  • This recipe is versatile – bake in mini loaf pans or muffin tins for portion control and easy grab-and-go servings.
  • Make sure to check the casserole towards the end of the baking time to avoid overbaking and drying out the oatmeal.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
