Instructions
- Add all the base ingredients to a high-speed blender (do not add mix-ins yet). Blend on high for 20 – 40 seconds until fully combined.
- Stir in your desired mix-in. I love chocolate chips, blueberries, or sprinkles.
- Pour the batter into a greased microwave-safe ramekin (I used an 8-ounce one) or a large mug. Top with the extra chocolate chips or your desired mix-in.
- Microwave on high for 90 - 120 seconds. The baked oats will puff up a lot and almost look like they are over-rising (that is normal); they will sink back to normal when they are done cooking. Every microwave is different, so I always check mine at the 90-second mark. If they look underdone or a little liquidy, cook in 10-second intervals until done.
- The oats should be moist & fluffy. Serve with a drizzle of peanut butter, a dollop of yogurt, and/or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
- Variations & mix-ins: Read the section called "Baked oats flavor variations & mix-ins" above in the blog post for 20+ ideas.
- Nut-Free: Substitute the peanut butter with sun butter.
- Rolled Oats: You can use quick oats too. Don't use steel-cut oats.
- Oat Flour: You can also use oat flour instead of the rolled oats in this recipe. Replace the ½ cup of rolled oats with ⅓ cup of oat flour. If you do this, you don’t need to use a blender, and you can hand whisk all the ingredients.
- Air Frying: Yes, you can also air fry this baked oats recipe. Preheat your air fryer to 290°F and air fry for 12 – 15 minutes, until golden and fluffy. Check this air fryer baked oats recipe out!
- Storing: These baked oats are best enjoyed immediately after microwaving. If you must store them, add them to an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
