Blended Baked Oats

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 banana cottage cheese 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.

I have made this 2 times. In the dish used in this recipe. Both were failures. The toothpick came out clean but when I cut into them, the knife came out gooey. I even added 3 minutes to the baking time. A big disappointment 😞
Oh no! So sorry to hear that, Daniel. Did you change anything about the recipe?
Hi, love the recipe. Will it be possible to blend this using an immersion blender as I only have that?
Yes, I think an immersion blender should work great!
Do you have a “healthier” version with lower carbs, lower sugar and lower fat? Sounds yummy!
These tasted like a baked cookie! It was super easy to make and very delicious
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Brittany! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
How is this supposed to be “healthy one portion thing” when it’s beyond 500 calories, with 70 g of carbs and more than 20 g of fat ? 😥😳
500 calories is a perfect amount for breakfast. Carbs are good for you – they are fuel your body needs and they help you feel full. Fats are good for you – your body needs them to process protein! This is a very healthy recipe using healthy ingredients, and I’m sorry your relationship with food has been so poisoned by diet culture that you don’t know how to properly feed yourself. Please seek help.
Lol.. “healthy” is a relative term. There are many people who would think this recipe is healthy because it fits what they consider healthy. You have to decide what type of healthy foods for your lifestyle and then it’s up to you to find recipes that work for you.
If you were looking for something with lower carbs/ sugar, you might not want to look into oatmeal banana breakfast recipes.
For instance, I do low carb, I would never make this for myself as carbs do not agree with my choices. However, I will make this for my kids as they do eat carbs and sugar and this is a better option for them because it’s not processed carbs or sugars.
There’s a little (actually a lot) of self responsibility that goes into deciding what healthy recipes you choose to make. It’s certainly not the recipe creators responsibility to decide for you.
Hi, I was just wondering if you could swap the almond milk for soy milk?
Totally! Any type of milk will work!
LOVE this recipe!! Thank you for all the alternatives for ingredients too.
I have been adding 25g of PEScience snickerdoodle and just a splash more almond milk- delicious!
So glad you loved this recipe, Vicky! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it.
1 cups into grams pls🎀
This is amazing!! I doubled the recipe and it fed me and my two littles with extra leftover. Sooo good
So glad this recipe was a hit, Hannah! Thanks for the review. I so appreciate it!
I made this recently (without egg) and fell in love. I was thinking of making it again, in a muffin pan to make smaller portions and have them as a breakfast or even a snack, but was wondering – do these freeze well?
So glad you loved this recipe!! You can totally freeze this recipe. That’s a great idea to make them in a muffin pan to make smaller portions. Let me know how it turns out for you!
Love this!! I live alone and when I do a batch of Baked Oatmeal I eat the same breakfast for a whole week – a single serving like this is perfect for some variation. Would love to see more versions of this!
So glad you loved this recipe, Malin! Thanks for coming back to leave a review, I so appreciate it!
I just wondered, is there any way to include some protein powder in this recipe? Maybe as like a chocolate version?
Yes! You can add 1-2 TBSP of protein powder to this recipe. You might need to add a dash more liquid, but it should turn out just fine!
