Mango Baked Oatmeal
Prep Time
Cook time
Total time
This Mango Baked Oatmeal has a deliciously-spiced oat cakey base with a mango and fresh ginger glaze over the top that acts almost like a frosting of sorts. Good warm or cold, it can be the perfect make-ahead THM E breakfast...but it can also fill a role as snack or dessert! Check out the notes section below for allergy info (gluten, dairy, and nut free options).

Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: THM E, Low Fat, No Sugar Added
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 4 cups old-fashioned oats (use gluten-free if necessary)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond or cashew milk (I actually used 1 cup of water for half of this)
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon each cardamom, ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder
MANGO TOPPING:
- 1 ½ cups mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup water
- 1-inch cube fresh ginger (peeled and finely grated)
- 2 ½ teaspoons THM Super Sweet Blend
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix the oatmeal ingredients together in a mixing bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, spread the oatmeal mixture into a greased 9”x13” baking pan.
- Combine the mango topping ingredients in a saucepan on the stovetop, bring them to a boil, then pull the pan off the heat and blend the mixture with an immersion blender to create a smooth mango sauce. (I added a dash of cayenne pepper to the sauce for “kicks.”) You could just bring the ingredients to a boil in a bowl in the microwave if you prefer (then blend as instructed).
- Spread the mango topping evenly over the oatmeal mixture in the pan like a glaze of sorts. Garnish with cinnamon and bake at 350* for 45 minutes.
- Let the baked oatmeal cool a bit before serving. I love the texture and flavor when warm, but it’s also good cold. The mango topping becomes a frosting of sorts on your mango ginger cardamom oat cake.
Notes
-Low-fat Greek yogurt may work in place of the applesauce.
-Feel free to add a few teaspoons of THM Super Sweet Blend to the batter if you want the baked oatmeal to be sweeter.
-I haven’t tried this, but if you’re not a mango fan, maybe fresh or frozen pineapple chunks (not canned in a sugar syrup) could be used in place of the mango? If anyone tries it I’d love to hear the results!
-I prefer the texture of the baked oatmeal when it’s allowed to refrigerate overnight before baking; it’s more like an oat cake! If you’re pressed for time, the recipe would probably still work without the overnight refrigeration (just bake right away).
