What You Need

Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredient quantities and full detailed method.

Add all of the above ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until all the ingredients are well blended and smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute should be enough.

If you don’t have a blender or food processor you can mix it by hand, the consistency will just be a little different.

Transfer to ramekin dish, or alternative, and cook in a preheated oven (180°C/160°C Fan/Gas Mark 4) for about 25 minutes. They can also be cooked in an air fryer.

At the end of the cooking time insert a skewer, if it comes out clean they are ready.

What Do Baked Oats Taste Like?

Baked oats are hard to describe – the texture is quite dense, not light and airy like a cake would be, but tasty nonetheless. I think I prefer them with some extra flavours added as the basic recipe can taste not unlike banana bread – not that banana bread is a bad thing of course!

Baked Oats – Different Flavours

• Apple, Raisin and Cinnamon – grate half an apple, 1 tbsp raisins and 1 tsp cinnamon and stir into the batter after blending but before baking.

How Long Do Baked Oats Last?

Baked oats will last in the fridge for up to a week, or 2 days in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave. Alternatively, you can freeze them for up to three months. Simply defrost overnight in the fridge and heat as required.
