Matcha Oatmeal Bake
This matcha oatmeal bake is a delicious warm vegan baked good that is completely gluten-free, zero sugar (yet just as sweet) and high in protein. You can easily make this plant-based recipe in the air fryer or the oven. Topped with vanilla vegan yogurt and dusted with ceremonial grade matcha powder.
I used my air fryer and for this one. The air fryer I have has been actual game changer for me. It cooks everything to perfection and saves so much on time. It’s great for small batch recipes such as this one.
This matcha oatmeal bake creates two servings, but you can always adjust the quantities at the recipe card down below. Before we get into making this recipe, let’s talk about how nourishing this matcha oatmeal bake is for your body.
Health Benefits of this Matcha Oatmeal Bake
Matcha: Dr. William Li suggested having green tea, even better matcha, everyday as it reduces your risk of cancer, it protects your DNA and it makes you stress less. Check out his post on why you should be drinking green tea everyday.
Oats: According to Harvard School of Public Health, “Oats contain several components that have been proposed to exert health benefits. The primary type of soluble fiber in oats is beta-glucan, which has been researched to help slow digestion, increase satiety, and suppress appetite. Beta-glucan can bind with cholesterol-rich bile acids in the intestine and transport them through the digestive tract and eventually out of the body. Whole oats also contain plant chemicals called phenolic compounds and phytoestrogens that act as antioxidants to reduce the damaging effects of chronic inflammation that is associated with various diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes”
Monk fruit: This natural sugar alternative has been shown to support weight loss as it contains no calories. It’s an excellent alternative for those especially with diabetes. Some studies have shown that has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties according to medical news today.
Other ingredients in this recipe are: vegan vanilla protein powder. I personally love using Ka’chava. Plant-based milk – I’m a fan of Good Karma flaxseed milk. You’ll also need coconut oil, baking powder & baking soda.
That’s right, this recipe only calls for 8 simple ingredients, plus vegan vanilla yogurt to top it off if you so choose. I recommend it… My go-to yogurt brand is Forager Project organic yogurt.

Notes & Tips for Making this Matcha Oatmeal Bake
If you decide to make this in the oven as opposed to the air fryer, then I recommend putting the ramekins onto a baking sheet to make your life easier. I would also suggest increasing the serving size as it’s a bit silly to heat up a whole oven just to bake two little matcha oatmeal bakes.
