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’ve never had a problem with this recipe, even if I use it as a base recipe and tweak things (almond butter, chocolate hazelnut butter; banana, apple sauce, pumpkin puree; chocolate chunks, blueberries, &c.) An excellent go-to. Even my resident oatmeal hater requests these!
Woo!! So pumped you’ve been enjoying this recipe, Trinity! Thanks so much for the review and star rating. It means so much to me!
hi i was just wondering if you can put these in the microwave instead of the oven?
Yes! I’d start with 2-3 minutes in the microwave. 🙂
I absolutely LOVE this! I use dark chocolate raspberry cups from a local country store. Mine comes out more like a bread pudding than a cookie, a bit on the dense side, but I still love it!
So glad you loved this recipe, Lourdes! Thanks for making it and for the review. I so appreciate it!
Awesome recipe! Easy to customize however you like it, my favorite thing! I doubled it and it fit around 7 cupcake molds, super quick, convenient, and easy. Healthy too!
Yay!! So happy to hear this recipe was a hit, JJ! Thanks for trying it out and coming back to leave a review. It means the world to me!
My 9year old daughter and I made this and it was amazing!!!! Gonna try it with some vanilla ice cream when it hot! So yummy!!!
Woo!! So glad you both enjoyed this recipe, Rachel! Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it!
Could you bake this in small mason jars and then the would be ready to take the next day or 2.
Hey Willy – I wouldn’t bake these in mason jars as mason jars aren’t meant to go in the oven, but you can definitely prep these in advance so you have a few ready to go. 🙂
These blended baked oats are so delicious and easy to make! I’ve tried several different variations, such as with pumpkin purée instead of banana. As well, I’ve also add 1 tsp of matcha powder and 1 tbsp of hemp hearts for matcha flavour baked oats
Ah yay! I love hearing this, Kate! And I love the different variations you’re making, so yummy. Thanks for the review!!
This recipe is foolproof. It works fine without banana/fruit purée as long as you’ve got the egg (and vice versa). Then for add-ins I suggest any sort of fruit you like, I usually go with blueberries but I’ve also tried strawberry/rhubarb and peaches. Such a fun breakfast!
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying these blended baked oats, Tea! Thanks so much for making them and I really appreciate the review!
