Peach Baked Oatmeal - same ingredients as above, plus:

  • 2 tablespoons peaches, chopped (fresh or canned)

Instructions

Notes

  • Ramekins or muffin pan: I used 7 ounce ramekins for my single serve baked oatmeal. But no worries if you don't have those handy...you can use a muffin pan instead. Just be aware that this recipe will fill a 7 ounce ramekin, so if you use a muffin pan instead, you'll get smaller servings.
 
  • Making several at once: If you're making multiple single serve baked oatmeals at once, it may be helpful to place them all on a baking sheet. Just be careful and use two hands, it gets quite heavy!
 
  • Substitutions:
    • Ramekins - Don't have any ramekins? No problem! Use a muffin pan instead.
    • Milk - Use any type of milk you like, whether that's low-fat milk, whole milk, almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or anything else you enjoy.
    • Honey - Any liquid sweetener will work well in this recipe. Replace honey with maple syrup, agave, date syrup, or liquid stevia.
    • Protein baked oats - Although I don't use protein powder in my recipe, you can certainly mix some in for a protein boost.
 
  • Is baked oatmeal healthy? Yes! Oats are a naturally gluten-free whole grain food with vitamins, minerals, and lots of fiber that will keep you feeling full for hours. The addition of bananas, honey, milk, and chia seeds in my recipe also add loads of healthy vitamins and nutrients to start your morning right.
 
  • Can I make this ahead of time? Absolutely! Just prepare your baked oats and bake as usual. When covered with plastic wrap and placed in the fridge, they'll stay good for several days.
 
  • Freezing: After baking and cooling, cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then just microwave for about 1-½ minutes to warm them up for breakfast.
