What are blended baked oats?

Blended baked oats start with rolled oats that are processed into a fine oat flour, then combined with an egg, a little milk, and baking powder. The batter is poured into a ramekin or mug and baked until set. The result is a portable, single-serve breakfast that bakes up fluffy and satisfying.

What do blended baked oats taste like?

These bake into a sweet, cake-like breakfast with a tender crumb. The texture is much lighter than traditional stovetop oatmeal, and the flavor depends on the add-ins you choose — everything from peanut butter and chocolate to fresh fruit works beautifully.

Ingredients – What You Need

The base ingredients are pantry staples you likely already have. Add one of the flavor mixes below to turn the base into peanut butter cookie dough, chocolate chocolate chip, or banana berry baked oats. You can make any one of these or prepare all three for a variety of breakfasts.

For the base

• ½ cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 large egg
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

This version tastes like cookie dough but uses wholesome ingredients for a balanced breakfast.

• Base ingredients, plus:
• 2 tablespoons all-natural peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Chocolate Chip

A dessert-like option made with a few simple additions to the base.

• Base ingredients, plus:
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (if needed)
• 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips

Banana Berry

Bright and fruity — mashed banana and blueberries add natural sweetness and flavor.

• Base ingredients, plus:
• ½ small mashed banana
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• ¼ cup blueberries (pulse in, do not puree)

How to Make Blended Baked Oats

Prep time: 10 minutes • Cook time: 25 minutes • Total time: 35 minutes • Serves 1

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an oven-safe 8-oz ramekin, a mug, or a small bowl with non-stick spray or a light coating of oil.

2. Blend the base

Put the rolled oats, almond milk, egg, and baking powder into a blender. Blend until the oats break down into a smooth batter that resembles pancake batter. A small single-serve blender or a full-size blender both work well.

3. Add flavor ingredients

Choose your flavor combination and add those ingredients to the blended base. Pulse briefly in the blender until everything is evenly combined. For blueberries, pulse only a few times so they stay in pieces rather than turning to puree.

4. Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes before enjoying.

Tips & Notes

• Decide which flavor you want and prepare those add-ins before blending to keep things quick.
• Blueberries: pulse them in rather than blending to avoid releasing too much liquid. Use fresh or frozen berries.
• You can swap quick-cook oats or oat flour for rolled oats. If using oat flour, use a 1:1 substitution.
• Nutrition values provided are an approximation for the peanut butter cookie dough combination.

Blended Baked Oats Q&A

How long do blended baked oats keep? Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, they will last 3–5 days. You can also freeze portions for up to 3 months.

Can I use instant oatmeal? Yes — because you blend the oats, rolled oats, quick-cooking oats, and instant oats all work in this method.

Should they be refrigerated? Refrigeration is recommended for best freshness. They can sit out overnight but will keep longer in the fridge.

Why is oatmeal a good breakfast? Oatmeal is high in fiber and whole grains, which helps keep you full and provides steady energy to start the day.

How to Store Baked Oats

After the baked oats have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in foil or place in a freezer-safe container, removing as much air as possible; freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
