Baked Oatmeal makes a hearty and filling breakfast. Full of fiber and healthy fats, it’s sure to keep you full. Make a double batch and reheat all week long.
Hi Friends!
Just popping in with a quick new recipe to share today! As you probably know, I eat oatmeal pretty much every morning for breakfast. I usually just make it in the microwave, but yesterday I thought it might be fun to change things up and make a baked version.
This is a twist on my favorite morning oatmeal combo, with a few adjustments to make it more suitable for baking! Keep in mind that this is not very sweet. It works for me with just the sweetness from the banana and milk and then the fruit and peanut butter drizzle on top. If you like things sweeter, you may want to add a little honey or sugar to yours.
Here’s the recipe:
Baked Oatmeal
Perfect for a lazy morning breakfast OR double the recipe and make enough for the whole week...then just reheat in the morning.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Nuttzo (or your favorite nut butter)
- 1/4 cup mashed banana
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Toppings: additional nut butter & fruit
Instructions
- Mash the banana and Nuttzo (or nut butter) together in a small bowl.
- Add the oats, milk and egg and mix well.
- Stir in the baking soda, cinnamon and pumpkin seeds.
- Pour into large, greased ramekins (or whatever pan you want to use) and bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
- Top with a drizzle of nut butter and some fresh fruit if desired.
I don’t know why it took me so many years to discover parchment paper but it really makes getting stuff out of pans a whole heck of a lot easier!
Feel free to customize this to your liking. Use your favorite fruit, try applesauce if you don’t like banana, or even drizzle with chocolate if you wanna get crazy!
And don’t feel the need to make yours pretty like mine. That was just for the pictures 🙂
Let’s chat:

i am an oatmeal lover! any kind of oatmeal as long as it includes nut butter!
I’ve been eating oatmeal every morning, recently. My fave way to make oatmeal is with cinnamon, egg whites, banana, and almond milk.
Hey JoJo, I recently turned into an oatmeal junkie myself. I used to hate it, but a friend of my introduced me to blending it and drinking it and I have been hooked ever since, yum.
@Lindsay is it possible or do you know how much calories this treat has? It looks pretty delish and can’t wait to give it a try.
Yes, I’m definitely n oatmeal lover! I especially love baked oatmeal because the leftovers are awesome. 🙂
I have oatmeal every morning. My fave! I usually top with peanut butter, blueberries, and pomegranate arils. I want to try a baked oatmeal but I’m always so hungry in the morning I can’t wait!
Nuttzo + Oats + Banana?? I’m in!

I love oatmeal, especially baked oatmeal! This sounds absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to give it a try!
Looks great and easy to pack with you on the go! What kind of dish did you bake them in they are so cute!
i used a big ramekin. same ones I use to make pot pies.
Oatmeal is my life. Just kidding. Kind of. Anyone who says they don’t like it I think just needs to try it with some healthy, tasty fixin’s. Baked is such a fun twist, and I love that these are portable too!
thanks Erin!
This looks fantastic, Lindsay! I LOVE baked oatmeal. It is so great to make a batch up over the weekend and then have breakfast already prepped for the week.

Yes, I am definitely an oatmeal lover — had some this morning in fact. 🙂
I do like baked oatmeal but rarely make it because I’m impatient and don’t want to wait for it to bake. haha
haha i know the feeling. this is one i’d def have to make ahead of time and reheat the next day for breakfast, not wait and eat that morning!
This is a good one! Making it this morning for Friday and the weekend. Thanks L! 😀
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it.
I love pretty much any nut butter. I eat oatmeal a few times a week and one of my favorite combos is adding 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, 1 serving of dark chocolate chips and half a chopped banana. Yum!
sounds like one of my favorite combos as well!
Beautiful photos and yummy sounding recipe! I LOVE oatmeal. I have it almost every morning too. Lately, I’ve been loving oats, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, peanut butter, and thawed blueberries.
Thanks ashley! Blueberries and peanut butter is one of my fav combos!

I eat oatmeal every weekday morning! I make steel cut oats in my rice cooker, which makes it so easy. My favorite is a tie between apple cinnamon or carrot cake. So good 🙂
oh, love the rice cooker idea!
What size ramekin? They come in many sizes. Please give in inches as large could be many sizes. Thanks
