Why You'll Love Blended Baked Oats
Baked oats have become a huge TikTok trend. By blending the oats, you essentially create oat flour - so while this recipe has all the goodness of oatmeal, it comes out looking like cake!
This vegan breakfast recipe is perfect for plant-based eaters or anyone who wants a healthy but still sweet breakfast.
Blueberry Baked Oats Ingredients
- Rolled Oats - I recommend using old-fashioned rolled oats (do not substitute in steel cut oats). You can use quick oats if those are all you have on hand.
- Ripe Banana - use the ripest banana you have. The more speckled and spotty they are, the sweeter they taste!
- Almond Milk - I like the flavor of almond milk in this recipe, but any kind of milk will work!
- Baking Powder - essential for giving the oats their cake-like texture.
- Chai Spice - adds wonderful flavor and depth to the oats. You can substitute for cinnamon. Here's how to make your own homemade chai spice blend.
- Maple Syrup - adds sweetness and delicious maple flavor. You can substitute for honey if you don't need this recipe to be vegan.
- Frozen Blueberries - I like using small, wild blueberries for this recipe. Fresh blueberries will work as well, but frozen blueberries always taste great year-round.
How to Make Baked Blueberry Oats
Blend - You'll blend the oats, milk, banana, baking powder, chai spice, and maple syrup until they are fully combined and the oats have broken down.
Pour - Split the oat mixture between two ramekins or small baking dishes and top with blueberries.
Bake - Bake the oats for 30 minutes in a 375-degree oven.
Tips for Making Healthy Blueberry Baked Oats
- Cooking Tips - If your oats look too moist after 30 minutes of cooking, give them an additional 5 minutes in the oven.
- Recommended Tools - I used 10-ounce ramekins (that are unfortunately no longer sold) for this recipe. Any small baking dish will work though!
- Storage Tips - Once baked, the oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a microwave or the oven. They are best served warm!

There is no way that this recipe is 300 calories. The one cup of rolled oats alone is over 300 calories. Perhaps you meant to say that this recipe serves two people??
Emily says
Yep, this recipe serves two! The recipe card reads - Nutrition Information: YIELD: 2 SERVING SIZE: 1
Cloey says
These taste delicious! I added extra blueberries, less syrup, a VERY ripe banana, and halved the recipe.
EW says
Great additions! Glad you liked it 🙂
Sophie says
Should this bake and dry out like a cake or stay moist/ gooey in the middle? Any baked oats I’ve ever tried never dry out in the given baking time? TIA
EW says
It's a little moister in the center - if you want it dryer, give it another few minutes in the oven.
Caitlin says
I love this recipe! Have been using it nearly every morning, thank you!
I was wondering if you had a variation of baked oats using moringa powder? Fruit or no fruit, as long as it tastes good, I'm in. I'm looking for yummy ways to add this to my food, and think baked oats would be an easy way!
EW says
So glad you like it! I haven't tried it with moringa powder - let me know if you do and how it goes!
Laura says
I can't eat bananas. Could I substitute applesauce instead? Something else?
Emily says
Applesauce would be a great substitute!
