Here’s how to make single serving baked oatmeal with four fun flavor variations: strawberry chocolate chip, blueberry, apple cinnamon and banana nut.
As you know, I am a full blown oatmeal lover. And while I love making a big batch of baked oatmeal for brunch or meal prep for the week sometimes I just want one serving of the flavor I’m craving!
These are super simple to make and take no time at all… I can see myself treating myself to these single serve baked oatmeals quite often.
You Will Love Single Served Baked Oatmeal
Whether or not you’ve tried one of my classic baked oatmeal recipes, I know you’re going to love this single serve version! Here’s why:
- Easy to prep – it’s so simple to prep. Just mix all of the ingredients and bake!
- Minimal clean up – yep, everything is mixed in one bowl and then baked in another… just two dishes to clean!
- Single serving – don’t worry about having leftovers for the week and just make what you’re craving NOW!
- Healthy and filling – this single serve baked oatmeal is packed with fiber. You can add protein powder to make it even more satisfying.
What if I Need More Than 1 Serving?
You’re in luck! I have a whole library of baked oatmeal recipes that make 6 servings with each batch. These are great if you want to bake once and eat healthy all week long! The recipes are super similar, just for a larger portion.
tip! If you're cooking for a crowd or want to meal prep a larger portion, make one of my baked oatmeal recipes that make 6 servings!
Flavor Variations
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
Add in 2 tablespoons of mashed bananas, 2 tablespoons of chopped strawberries and 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips before baking. Top with chopped strawberries, banana slices and/or maple syrup!
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
Add in 2 tablespoons of applesauce and 2 tablespoons of chopped apples before baking. Top with extra apple chunks, a drizzle of maple syrup and/or a drizzle of nut butter!
Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
Add in 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon of almond butter and 2 tablespoons of blueberries. Top with extra blueberries!
Banana Baked Oatmeal
Add in 2 tablespoons of mashed bananas, 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts and 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder before baking. Top with additional banana slices and enjoy!
Can I Add Protein Powder?
Yes! The blueberry and banana variations already include protein powder but you can add 2 tablespoons to any of these recipes without adding extra liquid. I love adding protein to make this a more filling and satisfying breakfast.
How to Serve Baked Oatmeal
I love eating baked oatmeal on it’s own but you could absolutely pair with more options for a full breakfast spread. Here’s what I would serve with baked oatmeal:
- Fruit Salad with Mint or Easy Fruit Salad
- Hard Boiled Eggs, Egg and Greens Bowl, Baked Egg Muffins or Sausage Egg Casserole with Veggies
- Health Nut Smoothie
How to Store Baked Oatmeal
Baked oatmeal stores super well! After allowing to cool, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze for longer storage!

Nutrition information is automatically calculated, so should only be used as an approximation.
When the calorie count says “without toppings”, does this mean the bare oatmeal recipe without the fruit/nuts/chocolate added? Or do they all have similar nutrition facts?
Hi, Milo. It’s for Strawberry Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal. I hope that helps!
I just made the strawberry chocolate chip one. I reccommend you using a thinner container when you bake it, because i used a traditional glass container out of my cupboard. It is too deep i think, so i had to bake it for MUCH longer. I LOVED this recipe- will definitely make this one of my comfort meals. Super easy to throw together, you just need enough time to bake it.
Yay, I’m glad this recipe worked for you, Vivian! Sorry to hear you had issues with baking time, maybe your oven isn’t getting hot enough?
These were ridiculously easy and so satisfying! Thank you for this springboard for me to jump off of. I’m going to use this as a base and just go nuts with flavors! I work from home and it’s cold out, so a single serving hot breakfast is heaven right now. No egg, no messes, so easy! Thank you!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear this recipe worked out for you, Robin! Let me know if you try any fun flavor combos! Thanks for leaving a review and star rating, I really appreciate it!
Excellent recipe! I used an entire apple in a 2 serving dish and tossed in a few pecans and blueberries. I like that it doesn’t call for an egg. My kind of recipe.
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Jane! Thanks for coming back to leave a review. I appreciate it so much!
Hey! Can you make the batter the night before and bake in morning? Thanks 🙂
Hey Jaime, I’m not sure if I would because the batter might soak up too much of the liquid overnight.
Delicious, quick, and easy! I tried baked oatmeal a few months ago and disliked it so much I thought I’d never make it again. Since this was single serving I figured I’d give it another chance and I’m so glad I did! I will definitely be trying all the other flavors!!
Woo!! So happy to hear it was a success, Alex! Thanks for trying it out and coming back to leave a review. It means so much to me!
Tried the Banana Walnut and it was really good! Definitely going to try a couple more of them 🙂
Woo! This makes me so happy to hear. Thank you so much for leaving a comment and star rating!
Which one is only 254 cal without toppings? The blueberry is about 550 cal without additional toppings 🤔
Hey Andrea – The blueberry one is 315, strawberry is 221, banana is 382 and apple is 254 calories.
I wonder what the difference is in our ingredients. I’m getting around 530 for the blueberry as well. The oats (BRM) and almond butter (Kirkland) are the biggest counts on my end.
Mmm I’m not sure! I use My Fitness Pal to calculate the nutritional info. What do you use?
The Banana Walnut was yummy! Excited to try the others. BTW, where did you get your cute ramekins?
So glad you loved it!! They were from Crate & Barrel last year and they don’t sell them anymore 🙁
