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.

Delicious, easy breakfast. I skipped the choc chips and added diced nectarine instead. Served it with yogurt and more peanut butter 😉
I made it the night before and cooked it in the morning, and it worked fine.
It says it serves one but that’s quite a lot for one and it served 3 people here!
So glad you loved this recipe, Lorna!! I’ve also found that this could easily be split up into 2 or 3 servings depending on how much you want. 🙂 Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
Lorna, did you mix it up, put in the pan wet, then in the fridge, then bake it in the morning? Curious how to do this as I’d prefer to do it this way too. Thanks!
Following this to see how she did it!
Have you tried adding protein powder to it?
Not with this specific recipe, but it should be fine to add 2 T of protein powder to the mix. Let me know if you try it!
Is there a way to make this recipe in bulk? Like double or triple the recipe and make it in a square baking dish all at once vs individual servings? Not sure if that would mess with the outcome
Hey Natalia – Totally, a few people have done that. The cook time will differ though. Let me know how it turns out if you try it!!
If you skip the egg or use no sweetener will that change the consistency? Like will something else need to be adjusted? What about maybe adding protein powder?
I made a version without the egg and with no maple syrup and it turned out just fine! You could also add in 2 T of protein powder, but I’d maybe add a touch more milk. Let me know how it turns out if you try it!!
I could not believe how delicious this turned out to be. I quadrupled the oats and almond milk, doubled the rest of the ingredients, and baked it in a 9″ cake pan. I The flavors and texture were so good. It’s like cake but without the sugary hangover after. It has the perfect amount of sweetness. I refrigerated the leftovers and it was really good cold, too. Thanks for the recipe!
Ahh yay!! That makes me so happy to hear, Staci. SO glad you loved this recipe!! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
OMG! This baked oatmeal it’s amazing!!! It’s so delicious! Super easy to make, and I love that the recipe is for an individual portion as well.
Woo!! So glad you loved this recipe, Patricia. Thanks so much for the review, I appreciate it!
There’s an annoying floating ad on this site that makes it impossible to see the recipe!
Hi Colin. I’m sorry about the ad and it blocking you from seeing the recipe! There should be an x to close out any floating ads, but maybe there is a glitch. Can you email me a screenshot so I can fix the issue?
Loved this! A healthy breakfast that tastes like you’re eating a chocolate chip muffin for breakfast. My boyfriend also loved it. Will definitely be a weekend staple.
So glad you loved this recipe, Lauren! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
For some reason I had to bake mine in the oven for much longer and it barely rose at all. The only changes I made to the recipe was using cashew butter instead of peanut butter and I added just a touch of honey. Everything else was the same. Not sure what went wrong ☹️
Oh no!! So sorry to hear that. Did you add the baking powder? And did you use an egg or skip it? How long did you end up having to bake it for?
I used no pb and no chocolate chips, I subbed unsweetened applesauce for banana and added blueberries. Came out delicious!
So glad you loved this recipe, Ryan! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
