Ingredients To Make This Easy Baked Oats Recipe
- Jumbo oats
- Milk: Any choice of milk you prefer. I use whole milk.
- Maple syrup: make sure it is organic and 100% maple syrup.
- Peanut butter: or any nut butter of your choice! Cashew butter would taste just as amazing
- Baking powder
- Ground cinnamon: adds extra flavour and also has many health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, a natural antioxidant, and could improve insulin response.
- Chocolate chips

How To Make Healthy Baked Oats Without Banana
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C
- Add all the ingredients to a pan, and mix it very well.
- If you are going to add chocolate chips instead of chocolate blocks, then mix in ⅓ cup or ½ cup of chocolate chips (totally up to you) and fold it in. And then add a few on top.
- But if you are adding chocolate blocks, then just place a few on top ( I usually place 1 for each slice- sometimes I cut into 6 slices or 8 slices. So that would be 6 or 8 chocolate blocks)
- Place the pan in the oven. Once it is cooked, let it cool down for 5-10 minutes before you dive in!
Why You’ll Love These Healthy Chocolate Baked Oats
- Quick and effortless – just 5 minutes to mix everything together, then let the oven do the work for 18–20 minutes.
- Minimal washing up – you’ll only need a few bits of equipment, which means less time at the sink and more time enjoying your baked oats.
- Meal prep friendly – make a batch, store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three weeks for a ready-to-go snack!
How To Store
- Fridge storage – once the baked oats are completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate. This keeps them fresh for 5 days. When you’re ready to enjoy a slice, simply microwave for 30–45 seconds to warm it up.
- Freezer storage – place cooled slices in an airtight container or freezer bag, separating each slice with non-stick baking paper to prevent sticking. They’ll keep for up to 3 weeks. When you want one, defrost and then microwave for 30–45 seconds until warm.

Yes! No blender, few appliances, interchangeable mix-ins. Thank you for this, it’s exactly what I needed in my use-it-up, no-spend, moving-soon phase!
Hope you enjoy it! They make a great meal prep too – you can even freeze slices in the freezer and when you’re ready to enjoy just pop in the microwave for a minute or a minute and a half and they taste so good!
