How to make baked oats for one:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and while the oven is heating add the wet ingredients to a large bowl and whisk them together until they are smooth.
Step 2
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir everything together.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to 4 ramekins and add in any fillings that you want such as fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake them for 40 minutes until firm in the centre. Let them cool for a few minutes and then enjoy!
Top tips:
- I have not tried making this oatmeal without the eggs and don't recommend trying to omit them or replace them.
- I do not recommend making these oats without any fillings. They are pretty bland and boring if you don't add the fillings.
- If you prefer blended baked oats you can blend the oatmeal mixture together in your high speed blender before adding it to the ramekins and adding the fillings.
- This recipe makes 4 individual servings of baked oats - feel free to make more or less depending on your needs.
- Storage: store any leftover baked oatmeal in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you are ready to eat it, heat the ramekin in the microwave on high heat for 40-45 seconds, or serve it cold if you prefer. If the ramekins you have don't come with lids, I recommend covering them with silicone covers when storing them in the fridge.
