Baked oats are one of my favorite things to have for breakfast. If you like cake, you will definitely love these. AND, if you like PB&J, you are REALLY going to love these!
What You Will Need
For The Oats
- Blender - This is the most important part! Make sure you have a good blender to make a smooth batter. A Nutribullet or Blend Jet are the perfect size for overnight oats!
- Small Oven-Safe Ramekin - 10-12 oz. is the perfect size for single serving baked oats.
- Oats - Yep, just plain old fashioned rolled oats. Make sure you don't use steel-cut or quick oats. You will need 1/4 cup.
- Almond milk - More specifically, 1/3 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. You can use plain or a different flavor if you want, but just make sure that it is unsweetened!
- Unsweetened applesauce - Make sure it is unsweetened! Unsweetened applesauce is an awesome healthy substitute for oil! And no, your oats will not taste like applesauce. You will need 1/4 cup.
- Egg whites - Egg whites makes the oats super fluffy and give you extra protein. I used 3 tablespoons of liquid egg whites that you just buy in a carton. You could also use 1 large egg.
- Sugar-free syrup - You can use any liquid sweetener of choice, but I prefer to use a sugar free breakfast syrup because it is super low in calories! I used 1 tablespoon.
- Protein Powder - You will need 30 grams of protein powder. I used the Prozis natural vanilla whey isolate. You can use the code "KATIE10" for 10% off if you decide to use that brand! I also love Isopure & Alani Nutrition for protein!
- Baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon to make the oats rise and taste like a cake!
- Salt - 1/4 teaspoon to bring out the flavor in the oats.
- Peanut Butter - 1/4 tablespoon of peanut butter to blend in. You will use more later for your filling and topping!
For The Filling
- Peanut Butter - I submerged 1 tbsp. of peanut butter along with my jelly in the middle of my oats. I also blended 1/2 a tablespoon into my oat batter. I used the Prozis Collagen Protein Peanut Butter.
- Strawberry Preserves – Definitely feel free to use any flavor you would like, but I stuck with the classic strawberry this time! You will need 2 tablespoons of no sugar added strawberry preserves.
How To Make It
- Blend - Yep, it's that easy. Baked oats became so popular because they are one of the easiest things to make. Toss all of the ingredients except for the toppings in a small blender such as a Nutribullet.
- Pour - Pour your batter into a greased ramekin. Submerge the 1 tablespoon of peanut butter & strawberry preserves in the center of the oat mixture.
- Bake - Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. I stick around the 25 minute mark because I do like mine to be a little gooey!
- Top - Top with additional peanut butter if desired!

Optional Substitutions
For the Egg Whites
Feel free to substitute this for one large egg, or if you can't have eggs there are lots of egg substitutions out there!
For the Applesauce
I get asked about substitutes for applesauce all the time because people are worried that you can taste the applesauce. Well let me assure you, you don't even know it's there. However, if you are still looking for a substitute, you could use 1/2 a banana (mashed) or plain non-fat Greek yogurt.
For the Almond Milk
Use any milk that you would like! Almond milk is my favorite because I personally have a food sensitivity to lactose and almond milk is very low in calories.
For the Protein Powder
The whole point of these oats are to be high in protein...BUT if you do not like using protein powder or are not interested in having protein in your oats, you can omit the protein and just use less almond milk. Or, you could use the same amount of milk and more oats!
Can I Prepare Baked Oats Ahead of Time?
Yes, and they are just as good reheated! You can make these the night before, cover your ramekin, and place in the fridge overnight. When you are ready to enjoy them in the morning just pop them in the microwave for about 45 seconds. You can keep your overnight oats in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Another option is that you can blend the oats, place them in your ramekin, cover them overnight in your fridge, and bake them in the morning!
