These Salted Caramel Brownie Baked oatmeal is so good and the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth for breakfast, or whip up after dinner for a quick mid-week treat!
This salted caramel brownie oatmeal requires just a few staple pantry ingredients: rolled oats, cocoa powder, plant milk, leaving agents and apple cider vinegar.
You will have to make the salted caramel, or you could use a store bought caramel or even a vegan dulce de leche. But that is it! Super simple ingredients for a super indulgent dessert…or breakfast!
What If I don’t want to make Salted Caramel?
If you don’t want to make salted caramel, my answer is to not make this salted caramel brownie oatmeal. I’m kidding! There are a host of store-bought options you can use that are SO good. I’ll leave a few of my favorites below:
- Store-bought Caramel sauce
- Date Paste – tastes so similar to caramel
- Sweetened Nut butter
- Nutella
- Dulce de Leche – make sure you buy a vegan one, as most have milk.
These are just a few suggestions, but I highly reccomend making your own vegan caramel. It is so easy, and great to have on hand to add on oatmeal, toast or nice cream!

Helpful Tips for Fudgy and Fluffy Brownie Baked Oatmeal
- You can double or even triple the recipe if you want to meal prep for the week. I would just recommend leaving the cream cheese glaze separate ignorer to avoid soggy oatmeal later in the week…(insert sad face).
- What type of ramekin do I use? I used a mini ceramic ramekin from William Sonoma. However, any oven safe ceramic will work.
- Can you make this in microwave? I personally have never tried microwaving my baked oats, but it should definitely work. I would microwave the oats for about 2-3 minutes until puffed and the top starts to crack. A toothpick inserted inside should come out clean!
- Can I use Oat flour instead? Essentially, when you blend the rolled oats, you are making oat flour. So you should definitely be able to use oat flour instead. The amount might differ slightly, as rolled oats have more volume then oat flour, so you will have to adjust the liquid amount, decreasing it slightly!
