These blended baked oats with banana and chocolate chips make you feel like you’re having cake for breakfast. And they’re so easy! Just pop everything into your blender, bake and enjoy!
When I saw that baked oats were going viral on TikTok I knew it was my time to shine! Baked oatmeal is my jam and I l already have a ton of tasty baked oatmeal recipes here on EBF.
That said, I’ve never made a single-serving baked oatmeal or one that’s blended up, so of course I had to try it!
I tried it this week and whoa, blended oats are delicious and such a fun treat to have for breakfast. They actually remind me of my blender banana pancakes!
Cake or Oatmeal?
These fluffy baked oats make you feel like you’re eating cake for breakfast, but in reality you’re eating a pretty nutrient-rich breakfast made from whole grain oats, an egg and banana.
I’m totally here for it!
Ingredients Needed
As per the usual with my recipes, you only need a few simple ingredients to make blended baked oats! Here’s what you need:
- rolled or quick oats – I use Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats. Just be sure to grab gluten-free oats if needed.
- almond milk – I use unsweetened almond milk, but any milk will work, dairy-free or not!
- banana – make sure it’s a perfectly ripe banana!
- egg – I tested this with and without the egg and both versions turned out, the egg-free version just wasn’t as fluffy.
- maple syrup – this makes the oatmeal bake a bit sweeter and so tasty. Just be sure to grab pure maple syrup, not the artificial stuff.
- peanut butter – I tested this with both peanut butter and almond butter. Both versions were delish.
- baking powder
- cinnamon
- sea salt
- chocolate chips – I use Lily’s dark chocolate chips because they are sweetened with stevia and low in sugar.
Substitutions & Notes
Banana – I haven’t tried this recipe without the banana, but I think it would work! You could sub the banana with 1/4 cup applesauce or pumpkin puree. If you make this swap, you may want to add a little extra sweetness.
Maple syrup – You can use any liquid sweetener in place of the maple syrup (honey, coconut nectar, etc) Want to keep it lower sugar? Use stevia or monkfruit maple syrup (which is what I used) or skip the maple syrup all together for no added sugar at all.
Egg – I found that this baked oatmeal held together well with and without the egg. I liked adding it in for extra protein and for the fluff factor, but if you don’t have one on hand or want to keep this vegan or egg-free, you can skip.
Peanut butter – I love the flavor and nutrition that peanut butter adds, but you don’t have to add it! Feel free to swap for your favorite nut or seed butter or skip all together.
How to Make Blender Baked Oats
After I tell you how to make this, you’re going to see why this took TikTok by storm… it’s SO easy!
- Blend – Blend all of the ingredients together except the chocolate chips. Stir in chocolate chips after blended.
- Bake – Pour batter into a greased ramekin and bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- Use a high powered blender! To get the fully blended, cake-like oatmeal, make sure you’re using a high powered blender. I love my Vitamix!
- You can double (or triple!) the recipe. This is a single-serve recipe but you can definitely multiply the ingredients and make multiple servings at once if you’d like!
- How do you store it? If this lasts you longer than one serving, I’m impressed! I couldn’t put this down. To store, let cool and then store in an airtight container for up to one week.
- What type on baking dish to use? I used an 8 oz mini Le Creuset, but any 8 oz oven-safe dish will work.
- Can you make this in microwave? I have a feeling this would work in the microwave, but I haven’t tested it. I would assume you’d need to microwave it for 2-3 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Can I use oat flour? When blending the mixture you’re essentially making oat flour so I think it should work just fine. I would use a scant 1/2 cup of oat flour instead of the 1/2 cup oats for this recipe.

With a freeze warning in effect, I wanted a warm, healthy, and quick breakfast. I replaced the chocolate chips with blueberries and I added a dash of vanilla, because who doesn’t like vanilla? This was just what the doctor ordered! So quick, easy, and yummy! Love your recipes!!! Thank you.
Yum! Perfect for these chilly mornings. I am happy to hear that you are loving this recipe. Thank you for sharing your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
This was amazing! Better than expected to be honest. I added a thin layer of unsweetened dark chocolate cover and it tasted delicious! Thanks for the recipe, will make it again for sure.
Yum! I this sounds delicious. I am excited to hear that you are loving this recipe, Danny. Thank you for sharing your review & star rating, I so appreciate it.
These were absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe and it made enough for 3 ramekins which was perfect for my family as an afternoon snack!
Yum! I am so glad this recipe worked out great for you and it was a hit. Thank you for your review + star rating, I appreciate it.
I really love how easy this is to make while still being so yummy!!! Super convenient for work days or when I want a sweet treat without spending too much money, or too much time in the kitchen. I like to mix in coconut flakes & white chocolate chips.
YUM! The coconut & white chocolate sound like delicious additions, Dimitri. I am glad you are enjoying this recipe. Thank you for sharing your review & star rating, I so appreciate it.
I made these and they turned out great! I actually quadrupled the recipe and I ran out of rolled oats, so I substituted steel cut. I also don’t own ramekins so I used muffin tins. The ones baked in metal puffed up higher and were more cake like, the ones in my silicone muffin tins were a little shorter and more dense. I shorten the big Time by five minute. They turned out fantastic. 3 teen boy approved!
Ah thank you so much for this, Molly. I am so glad this recipe is a hit for you and your family! Thank you for coming back and sharing your review, I appreciate it.

Ah yay! I am so glad that you and your husband are loving this recipe, Savannah. Thank you so much for your review & star rating, I truly appreciate it!
Made this Blended Baked Oats for my birthday “cake.” Was delicious & so moist…my choosy husband even liked it! Thank you for being so clear when presenting ingredients & even suggesting substitutions…..for instance, I used 100% pumpkin instead of 1/2 a banana….& since it’s my birthday, I used extra chocolate chips! Thanks for being a part of my Happy Birthday! 🥳
Happy Birthday!!! So glad you were able to enjoy this treat, sounds delicious! Thank you for your review + star rating, I really appreciate it!
We have made this a few times now. I always double the recipe and use a sandwich size Pyrex container to bake as I don’t have ramekins.
i love how easy this is to make. The second time we made this recipe, I measured out all the ingredients and let my 3 year old granddaughter put everything in the blender, put the lid on and turn it on. She loved that she “made it all by herself!”
Thank you for the great recipe.
Aw this is great, Crystal! I am so glad that this recipe is a hit for you and your granddaughter is able to make this with you as well. I appreciate your review and star rating, it means so much to me!
