The Oats Series: The Basic Baked Oats Template

Baked Oats has been my recent oat creation and obsession. Although it takes more time than normal stovetop oats, the oats texture is a must! It is basically like an oat cake.

These measurements and ingredients are what I personally use as my own single serving but feel free to change it up to fit your own needs!

Ingredients:

• rolled oats
• choice of milk
• any toppings or add ins that your heart desires: nut butter, chocolate chip, fruit, shredded carrots, super seeds…

Carrot Cake Baked Oats

Here are the simple steps for baked oats success:

1. soak 1/2 cup oats with 1/3 cup choice milk for 10 min
2. while soaking, preheat oven to 400°F and prepare toppings and fillings
3. stir in any fruit, seeds, nuts, or nut butter you wish to cook in the oats
4. put oatmeal combination into a greased (i usually use a little coconut oil) and oven safe ramekin
5. cook for about 10–15 min
6. take out once the top is crispy and let cool
7. top with more fruit, seeds, and nut butter

It is as easy as that! Baked oats are my go-to for weekend mornings when I have more time to spend cooking. It takes about 30 minutes in total, so ensure that you have enough time on your hands.
