    Key ingredients and substitutions: 

    • Rolled oats - The base of this delicious healthy baked oatmeal for one. I use gluten free sprouted rolled oats which are easier to digest, gluten free and glyphosate free. Make sure you use rolled oats and not quick oats or steel cut oats for this recipe. 
    • Eggs - to help the oats hold together when they bake, plus they add an extra bit of protein to this breakfast.
    • 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.
    • Honey - My favourite natural sweetener which is filled with vitamins and minerals! You could swap this for maple syrup. 
    • Fillings of your choice - the options are endless: chocolate chips, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, bananas, strawberries, chopped nuts etc. Whatever you like!

    How to make this recipe: 

    Step one: 

    First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Step two: 

    In a large bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk them together until they are smooth.

    • Use rolled oats and not quick oats or steel cut oats for this oatmeal recipe. 

    How to store: 

    Store these single serve baked oatmeals in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you are ready to eat them, put them in the microwave for a few seconds to heat the oatmeal back up.

    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: 

    Is this baked oats for one low calorie? 

    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. 

    Can I make this baked oatmeal with no eggs?

    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. 

    What is a single serving of oats?

    A single serving of oats can be anywhere from 1/4 up to 1/2 cup of rolled oats. 

    Are baked oats good for you?

    Baked oatmeal is a healthy breakfast option. Oats contain many important vitamins and minerals and are full of soluble fiber and beta-glucan which has numerous health benefits including helping reduce cholesterol and helping to regulate blood sugar. 

    What is the difference between rolled oats and quick oats?

    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.
