Blended Baked Oats

 

WHAT ARE BLENDED BAKED OATS?

Blended baked oats are made by grinding rolled oats in a blender to create oat flour, which is combined with a banana, egg, milk, and leavening agents to create a moist, fluffy, muffin-looking, cake-like breakfast that is absolutely delicious

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

You will need the following ingredients to make this baked blended oats recipe:

Rolled Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats will work best, unfortunately, steel-cut oats will not work for blender baked oats.

• Banana: To add moisture and texture, the riper the banana the better.
• Milk: You can use any type of milk you like.
• Egg: To add a bit of protein and ensure the oats are fluffy.
• Maple Syrup: To add a bit of sweetness. You can use honey if you prefer or omit it completely if you like.
• Baking Powder: To lighten the texture and help the oats rise.
• Salt: To season and activate the leavening agent.
• Vanilla Extract: To enhance the flavors.
• Blueberries: To add more fiber, flavor, and color to the baked oats. See the section below for other filling and flavor options.

In addition to the above, I like to serve my baked blended oats with a dollop of Greek yogurt to post the protein content of my breakfast.

HOW TO MAKE BLENDED BAKED OATS:

Making baked blended oats is incredibly easy and only requires 3 simple steps:

Blend: Add the ingredients to a blender and blend until a smooth batter is formed.

Pour: Pour the batter into small ramekins.

Bake: Transfer the ramekins to the oven to bake until fluffy and golden.

That’s it! Once the oats have been baked, they can be served immediately or covered and stored in the fridge or freezer.

OTHER FLAVORS

While I opted to go the blueberry route with my recipe, you can flavor blended baked oats any way that you like. Once you’ve got the base recipe down, you can add any mix-ins you like, other flavor options could include:

Carrot Cake: Add shredded carrots, chopped walnuts, raisins, and cinnamon.

• Chocolate Peanut Butter: Add cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and peanut butter.
• Apple Cinnamon: Add chopped apple and cinnamon.
• Pumpkin Pie: Swap the banana for pumpkin puree and add pumpkin pie spice mix.

In addition to the above, you can also add toppings to boost the protein, fiber, and fat content of the meal.

• To boost the protein, top the oats with yogurt, Greek yogurt, skyr, or cottage cheese.
• To boost the fiber, top the oats with additional blueberries, strawberries, chopped apples, or other fruit of your choice.
• To boost the fat, add chopped nuts, drizzle your oats almond butter, or peanut butter, or top them with a bit of full-fat dairy, such as yogurt or milk.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 banana, peeled

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two oven-safe, 6 to 8-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray. (See notes for microwave instructions.)
2. In a blender, add rolled oats, milk, banana, egg, maple syrup, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract, and blend or puree until a smooth batter is formed. (If your blender is not very strong, add the rolled oats on their own and blitz them into an oat flour, and then add the remaining ingredients and blend until a smooth batter forms.)
3. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and then sprinkle blueberries, dividing them evenly across the two ramekins.
4. Transfer ramekins to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until they have risen and are slightly golden around the edges.
5. Once baked, remove them from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, and then serve as it or with toppings of your choice.
6. Any leftovers can be stored, covered with a lid or plastic wrap, in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months.

Notes

To Make Blended Baked Oats in the Microwave: Follow steps 1-3 as outlined, then place ramekins in the microwave and cook on high for 3-5 minutes until oats have risen and are fully cooked.
