A viral TikTok recipe inspired this recipe for easy breakfast baked oats. It's a simple blended oatmeal recipe made in an individual ramekin or mug that can be scaled up to serve 2, 3, 4, or more.
A 1-cup ramekin or oven-safe mug is a perfect size for these blended baked oats, and there are tons of possible variations. The basic formula is sweetened with a bit of maple syrup or honey along with a banana. The banana sweetens the mixture a bit more, and there isn't much banana flavor at all. If you prefer baked oats without a banana, you can replace it with 1/4 cup of applesauce or another banana substitute.
The oat mixture is blended to make a smooth batter, so the oatmeal has a cake-like texture. Besides the enjoyment of having cake for breakfast, blended baked oats are whole grain and gluten-free!
A standard-size high-speed blender works well for making 2 or more servings, but for 1 serving, your best bet is a smaller bullet-style blender or immersion blender.

Tips
- A single-serving blender is the best choice for making one serving.
- Make sure to spray the ramekin with cooking spray or grease it with oil or butter.
- The baked oats will be dry if overbaked. Stick to about 20 to 22 minutes for 8-ounce ramekins or about 15 to 17 minutes for 6-ounce ramekins.
- If you don't have a blender, you may use oat flour to make baked oats. Alternatively, use a food processor to grind rolled oats into a smooth flour. Using oat flour, make the batter with a whisk or electric mixer.
Recipe Variations
- Chocolate-Chocolate Chip: Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the blender.
- Blueberry Lemon: Add 1/4 teaspoon of grated lemon zest to the blender. Omit the chocolate chips, stir about 8 to 12 blueberries into the batter in the ramekin, and sprinkle a few more blueberries over the top.
- Cinnamon Berry: Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the blender. Omit the chocolate chips and stir a few sliced strawberries or whole blueberries or raspberries into the batter in the ramekin and top with a few more sliced berries. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake as directed.
- Pumpkin Pecan: Omit the banana and chocolate chips. Add an extra 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of milk. Swirl about 2 tablespoons of finely chopped pecans into the ramekin and top with a teaspoon of chopped pecans and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar—bake as directed.
- With Jam: Swirl 1 to 2 tablespoons of jam or preserves into the batter in the ramekin. Top with mini chocolate chips or berries.
- Vegan Baked Oats: Use an egg substitute or a flax "egg." In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water. Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes, add to the blender and proceed with the recipe. Use vegan chocolate chips or a berry or chopped fruit mix-in.
- To make the baked oats without banana, replace it with about 1/4 cup of applesauce.
- Some optional topping ideas include toasted coconut, caramel or chocolate sauce, sugar-free syrup or fruit syrup, whipped topping, vanilla or plain yogurt, chopped toasted nuts, or demerara sugar.
How to Store
- If you make a larger batch and have leftover portions, cover the ramekins and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until hot.
Can I use steel-cut oats in baked oats?
Steel cut oats may be used, but the texture will not be as smooth as with rolled oats.
