Ingredients & substitutions

• Rolled oats: This is the base for the recipe, but you can use rolled oats, quick oats, or even oat flour. Learn how to make oat flour using just rolled oats in my tutorial.
• Egg: You can make it vegan by using a flax egg, or just using ¼ cup of any milk instead of the egg.
• Banana: This adds flavor, sweetness and moisture to the recipe. Instead of one banana, you can also add one egg or ¼ cup of any milk.
• Maple syrup: To add a touch of sweetness to oats that can sometimes be bland.
• Baking powder: This helps the baked oats rise while baking.
• Salt: To round out the flavor.
• Cocoa powder: This is optional if you want to try the chocolate flavored baked oats.

How to make baked oats

1. Place all the ingredients together in a blender.
2. Blend until the mixture is evenly mixed and pourable. You may have to scoop some out though.
3. Transfer to a greased ramekin, oven-safe pan or bowl. You can add some toppings like shaved white chocolate, if you’d like.
4. Bake until the edges pull away and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

• For a chocolate flavor, you can use the same ingredients, but add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and top it off with some shaved chocolate or chocolate chips.

• You’ll know it’s done when the edges of the baked oats pull away from the ramekin – just like cake. That’s the big appeal of this recipe – it’s really just like cake, but for breakfast! Look at that texture!

Tips for making baked oats

1. Use a high speed blender to blend the ingredients. The difference between baked oatmeal and baked oats is all in the texture. And getting that cake-like texture comes from adding the egg, but also blending the ingredients well.
2. Double or triple the recipe. To double or triple the recipe you can throw everything together in a blender and just divide it into multiple ramekins or transfer it to a cake pan or loaf pan.
3. Grease the ramekin. Because we’re not using any oil or butter in the recipe, the cooking spray will help ensure that the batter doesn’t stick to the ramekin when cooking.
4. Cook in the microwave. To make it ever faster, consider making it in the microwave for 90 – 120 seconds. Make sure you’re using a microwave safe bowl though, and that it’s twice the size of the batter since it will rise while baking quickly in the microwave.
