Baked Oats

Blended baked oats with chocolate chips and peanut butter is like having cake for breakfast, but it’s healthy! Make the batter in a blender in just 5 minutes, bake, and enjoy warm with a drizzle of creamy peanut butter on top.

Here’s another Tiktok viral recipe that went viral for a reason! Gluten-free simple and fun dessert-like breakfast that happens to be healthy as well. You just a blender, oven-safe ramekins or dish, and a few ingredients.

This baked oats breakfast is rich in minerals and goodness from all the oats, egg, and banana. And who can say no to a healthy cake for breakfast?

For a more classic oatmeal experience, try my overnight oats instead! And be sure to check out my other Baked Oatmeal recipe which makes enough to either serve a crowd or put some away for meal prepping.

The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this:

Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

• Oats – use rolled or quick oats, both work here! Don’t try this with steel-cut oats though.
• Milk – any milk works, but I prefer plant-based and went for almond milk.
• Egg and banana – you can skip the egg, but the oats won’t be as fluffy. The banana can be substituted with applesauce or pumpkin puree, but won’t be as sweet.
• Baking powder – for fluffier baked oats.
• Ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and salt.
• Sweetener – I used honey, but you can substitute it with maple syrup, stevia, or any sweetener that you like.
• Chocolate chips – optional, but delish!
• Peanut butter – totally optional but SO good! You can substitute it with almond butter or any other nut or seed butter.

How to Make Blended Baked Oats

Blend – combine all of the ingredients in a blender (except for the chocolate chips and peanut butter). Blend for 30 seconds until you get a smooth batter. Mix in half of the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into 2 greased ramekins. Top with the remaining chocolate chips.

Bake – bake at 375°F/190°C for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven, drizzle with creamy nut butter, and enjoy! (scroll down for the Instant Pot instructions).

And that’s it! So easy!

Instant Pot Baked Oats

You can also make baked oats in the Instant Pot, this is perfect for those who don’t want to heat up their kitchens with the oven or those in RVs, etc. Anyway, here’s an easy treat for you!

Prepare the batter, grease the ramekins, fill them, then cover with foil and place a trivet in the Instant Pot stainless steel insert. Add ¾ cup of water, and place the ramekins on the trivet. You can even stack 4 or 5 of them (you’ll need to make more batter though).

Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, with 10 minutes natural release. And that’s it you’re done!

I have to mention that the baked oats will have a steamed cake texture, but honestly, it’s really good! The texture will be similar to my Instant Pot Pancake bites if you’ve tried them. Let me know if you try this. Enjoy!

Top Tips

• Use a high-speed blender for a smooth batter, and a texture that’s closer to cake. I used my Vitamix, and blended for just 30 seconds.
• Feel free to omit the egg if you don’t want to use it, but keep in mind that your oats won’t be as fluffy as they should be.
• Grease the ramekins with cooking spray, or just use a pastry brush and grease with vegetable oil.

You can make different flavors such as carrot cake by adding grated carrot, or make a chocolate version by adding 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.

How to Make a Single Portion

Halve the oats, the banana, and the milk. Keep everything else the same. You can either use 6-oz or 8-oz ramekins.
