Feel like having cake for breakfast? Make this Chocolate Chip Baked Oats instead! It tastes just like cake and is super easy to make. With 30 minutes of bake time, you will be having dessert for breakfast!
Baked oats started trending on Tiktok and the internet went crazy! Similar to what happened with the Baked Feta Pasta. There are so many different ways to make these baked oats. You can get as creative as you like with the flavors you choose. Whether you choose to do a chocolate flavor or a vanilla birthday cake, in the end, you will love this amazing creation.
All you need is some base ingredients which are oats, bananas, eggs, and milk. You can then get creative with your additions like a hint of peanut butter, some cocoa powder, and a bit more sweetness by adding some honey or maple syrup. My kids love this and we make it all the time! We also make this chocolate protein baked oats that we make on a weekly basis.
Summary
- Delicious: I can’t even tell you how delicious this baked oats recipe is. You will have to try it to see what I mean. Do come back and let me know though.
- Easy: It takes no longer than 5 minutes to blend and then you bake it. You can get creative with the ad-on.
Ingredients You Will Need
- Rolled Oats: The recipe will call for rolled or old-fashioned oats, but you can also use quick oats. It’s going to get blended anyway.
- Banana: Use a ripe banana. If you do not like bananas, you can use a small size cooked sweet potato or apple sauce.
- Milk: any milk will work
- Egg: to replace the egg for a vegan friendly option, add one tablespoon of groun flaxseed to a bowl and mix it with 3 tablespoons of water.
- Vanilla: for flavor
- Nut Butter: almond butter or peanut butter will work. I honestly love the subtle flavor of almond butter in baked oats.
- Maple Syrup or Honey: you can also use a bit of brown sugar or agave.
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Dark Chocolate Chips, or Sprinkles-optional.
How To Make Baked Oats
- Preheat the oven to 375 F
- Place all ingredients into the blender. Except for the chocolate chips.
- Blend for one minute until all ingredients are well blended.
- Pour the batter equally into two greased ramekins. Add half a tablespoon of chocolate chips into the batter and mix it in. Top with the other half tablespoon of chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
- Let it cool and serve!
My Pro Tip
Recipe Tip
- Oats: Do not use steel-cut oats, You may use quick oats if you don’t have rolled oats. If you don’t have any oats, use 3/4 cup of white, wheat, or oat flour.
- Egg: There are egg substitutes out there that you can use to replace the egg. But other options that you may consider with ingredients you already have at home are flaxseed, yogurt, buttermilk, silken tofu, and applesauce. replace 1 egg with 1/4 cup of all the above. If you are replacing it with flaxseed, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water.
- Milk: Any milk will work in this recipe.
- Nut butter: We used peanut butter, but you can use any nut butter like almond butter or cashew butter.
- Sweetener: We used maple syrup, but you can use honey or agave. If you want to use coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener it’s fine too.

It really good oatmeal chocolate chip casserole and this is my first time I bake this .
Melody Malone
we love this one too!
the flavour is really good but the texture is quite sticky inside and unpleasant, why is that?
Did you change anything with the recipe? I didn’t experience this
This sounds delicious! Is this 425k calories per serving?
Super yummy, I always make this as a safe food for myself! Is it 425 calories PER SERVING or for the entire recipe though? I try to track my calories to make sure I get enough but with this I’m unclear
Can we use something other then banana….not a big fan of the taste
Yes. You can use pumpkin puree
How much, though?
should be about 1/3 cup which is equivalent to 1 mashed banana
Hi! I’ve tried this recipe in the oven and it came out great! But I’m wondering if I can cook this in an air fryer? And if so, how long?
Hi. I’ve never tried the air fryer so I am not sure.
I did it in the air fryer and dropped the temperature down to 350 for about 15/20 minutes. Made 3 ramekins and it was so good. Crispy top because I added walnuts on top with a soft moist inside.
What size ramekins please?
Hi. I just measured it. it’s 4.5 inch
I got a question, is this 425 a serving or 425 cal per serving?? Just curious, it’s delicious btw
It’s per serving. Thank you.
Can you freeze this recipe prior to baking?
Hi there,
I haven’t tried it and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Can you make this in the microwave like a mug cake?
Hi. Try a smaller amount first. I think it should be fine but I honestly haven’t tested it
Super yummmy, first time cakes works with me, i reduced the amount of syrup, but here i added chocolate syrup and it works and gave it a sweet taste, thank you so much
Thanks, Roula. Glad this worked for you and you loved it.
What size ramekin did you use? I want to try but need one of those first!!
Thanks
do you have to blend the mixture or can you just put it into the oven as is?
Hi. Blending gives a much better “cakelike” texture. You may use your hand to mash and mix and maybe use oat flour.
I don’t have any ramekins ! Am I make it in an 8×8 pan & how long would I bake it for?
Thank you
Yes, check it in 15 minutes with a tooth pick
Is the nutritional information for 1 serving size (1 ramekin) or both?
Hi there. One Ramekin is one serving
Do you have to use nut butter?
Hi. You can skip the nut butter
Is the amount of calories for half the recipe or the entire recipe???
Hi. The recipe makes 2. The calories is for one ramekin and its a decent size.
Can you use pumpkin? If so how much?
Yes. use 1/2 cup
Best baked oatmeal recipe out there! Love it! 🙂
Thanks! We certainly love it too!
Are the nutrition facts for one serving or the whole recipe?
It’s per serving.
It’s already baking and I just realized the recipe called for 1/2 cup milk, but I added 1 cup 🙁 how is it going to come out?
Maybe too crumbly? let me know?
