Ingredients and substitutions:
- Rolled oats - The base of this delicious healthy baked oatmeal. I like to use gluten-free sprouted rolled oats. Make sure you use rolled oats and not quick oats or steel cut oats for this recipe.
- Eggs - to help hold the oats together when they bake and help give this oatmeal more of a cake-like texture.
- Milk - choose any type of milk you like whether that be dairy milk or a dairy free milk such as almond milk or coconut milk. I prefer to use full fat coconut milk.
- Honey - this is used to naturally sweeten these oats while keeping this recipe refined sugar free. You could swap this for maple syrup.

- You can fill this oatmeal with whatever you like, whether that is chocolate chips, banana, chopped nuts, berries, chopped fruit etc. I do not recommend making these oats without any fillings. They are pretty bland and boring if you don't add the fillings.
- Be sure to use rolled oats and not quick oats or steel cut oats for this oatmeal recipe.

How to serve:
These baked oats can be eaten warm or cold, whichever you prefer. They can be served for breakfast, as a snack, or for dessert. You could make them even more decadent by topping them with ice cream, yogurt or whipped cream!
How to store:
Store any leftover baked oatmeal in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you are ready to eat it, put the ramekin in the microwave for a few seconds to heat the oatmeal back up, or serve them cold if you prefer.
If the ramekins you have don't come with lids, I recommend covering them with these silicone covers when storing them in the fridge.
Frequently asked questions:
The calorie count of this baked oatmeal recipe will vary depending on the fillings you put in them. To make it lower in calories, use fillings such as fresh fruit rather than chocolate.
I have not tried making this oatmeal without the eggs or with any egg replacements. I am not confident it would work out as well but if you try it please let me know how it goes.
Rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats, are oat groats that are steamed and rolled into flakes. The larger surface area means they will cook more quickly than steel-cut oats. Quick oats on the other hand are cut into smaller pieces, rolled thinner, and steamed longer so they cook more quickly but don't end up with as much texture as rolled oats.
