Biscoff Baked Oats Step By Step
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a blender or food processor, blend 1 ½ cups of oats until finely ground. Transfer the ground oats to a large mixing bowl.
Add the pitted dates, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Stir the blended mixture into the ground oats in the mixing bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Fold in the remaining 1 ½ cups of whole oats until evenly distributed.
Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive or coconut oil. Pour the oat batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the oats in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, checking for doneness at the 20-minute mark. The baked oats should be firm to the touch and lightly golden brown on top.
While the oats are baking, prepare the Vegan Cinnamon Honey Frosting. In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, honey, monk fruit confectioner’s sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Remove the baked oats from the oven and let them cool in the pan. Once cooled, pour the Vegan Cinnamon Honey Frosting over the top of the oats.
Cut the baked oats into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Biscoff Baked Oats!
What is Biscoff?
Biscoff is a biscuit/cookie-like treat from Belgium with the most warm, subtly spiced flavor and amazing crisp texture. You may have heard of Biscoff Spread or enjoyed a Biscoff cookie on a Delta flight (a childhood memory that came up when making these)!
Biscoff cookies have a distinct flavor (and these Biscoff Baked Oats capture that beautifully), with hints of cinnamon and caramelized sweetness. The texture of Biscoff is perfectly crunchy, making them a delightful treat to be enjoyed with coffee.
High Protein Tofu Frosting
Sitting at my kitchen counter, the craving for baked oats struck, and there was no doubt: it had to be Biscoff Baked Oats. But they needed a frosting, a healthy, high-protein frosting. Then, it hit me (and trust me, you won't be disappointed): I'd blend tofu to create a perfectly creamy cinnamon oat honey frosting! All you need is something to blend the tofu, honey, monk fruit confectioner’s sugar, a pinch of salt—and voilà, you have a silky, high-protein, and delicious frosting! If tofu isn't your thing, you can try using Greek yogurt with honey, cinnamon, and salt instead.
Alternative Ingredients for Biscoff Baked Oats
The ingredients used are combined to make & bring out the “Biscoff” flavor. But of course there are so many alternative ingredients if you aren’t a fan of what I’ve added!
Almond Butter—while almond butter goes really well with the spices some other butters would be just as tasty! Cashew butter, pecan butter, granola butter, even peanut butter would be great!
Honey or Maple Syrup—these delicious natural sweeteners help make this recipe sweet and delicious. If you don’t want to add the extra sweet, omit this ingredient. Although the baked oats will be less sweet! You could also add more dates for sweetness!
Eggs—are a binder! Some alternatives for eggs include, flax seed and water—to make a flax egg or chia seeds and water!
Greek Yogurt—is another binder and helps make this recipe a little bit more moist! If you want to make this recipe dairy free, try coconut yogurt, any alternative yogurt, a banana or applesauce!
Overall, there are so many different ways to change up a recipe to fit your needs and I hope these suggestions help a little bit!
