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.
How to serve:
These baked oats can be eaten warm or cold, whichever you prefer. You could make them even more decadent by topping them with ice cream, yogurt or coconut whipped cream!
How to store and reheat:
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 these silicone covers when storing them in the fridge.
Baked oats for one FAQs:
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.
No they are not because they are made with eggs.
