We really enjoy porridge oats for breakfast. However, it's nice to switch it up and make something different, and delicious with oats.
This baked oats recipe is super easy, customisable, and of course, delicious.
Baked oats are also fantastic to prepare the night before, and then pop in the oven the following morning to bake - perfect for meal-prep.
We incorporate protein powder into our baked oats, but this is totally optional. We tend to ear this after we worked out, and so we like to include some added protein.
As we mentioned above, the thing we love about this recipe is the ability to customise the flavours and ingredients. Let's share some of our favourite fillings;
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip
Carrot Cake
White Chocolate & Berry Delight
Sometimes we keep it completely plain, just like oir recipe, and then we go crazy with lots of delicious toppings. These toppings usually include;
Strawberries
Blueberries
Blackberries
Walnuts
Dedicated Coconut
Square of Dark Chocolate
Nut Butter
Honey
So many delicious toppings to choose from.
We divide this recipe mixture into 3 XL ramekins, which make pretty large individual portions. However, you could easily bake it in a single oven dish, and then serve into portions. Doing this, the cooking time will be slightly less because the mixture will not be as thick, compared to ramekin servings.
We enjoy it warm from the oven, and it makes for a very filling and delicious breakfast.
Lets crack on with the recipe.
Happy Baking!

INGREDIENTS
Makes 3 large ramekins or 6 small ramekins
2x cups of Organic Oats
1x cup of Natural Yoghurt
1x cup of Milk
1x cup of Nut Butter
30g of Protein Powder (optional)
1x tsp of Baking Powder
Pinch of Sea Salt
2x tsp of Vanilla Extract
2x tbsp of Organic Demerara Sugar or Honey
Optional Extras For Fillings
Chocolate Chip
Cup of Chocolate Chips
White Chocolate Berry Delight - (leave out the Nut Butter)
Cup of sliced Strawberries or Blueberries
3/4 cup of White Chocolate Chips or Chunks
Carrot Cake - (leave out the Nut Butter)
Cup of grated carrot - squeeze out excess water
1/2 cup of Chopped Walnuts ir Pecans
1/4 cup of Sultanas
1x heaped tsp of Cinnamon
1x heaped tsp of Ginger Powder
1/2 tsp of Nutmeg
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180C. We always preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes before using, although every oven varies.
Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl, and thoroughly combine together with a wooden spoon.
Divide the mixture equally into your 3 ramekins, if using, and then bake on the top shelf for 30-35 minutes, or until set.
If baking in one large oven dish then the baking time will be slightly shorter. Check at 20-25 minutes.
Serve and enjoy as is, or with added toppings 😋
