Healthy Baked Oats
Ingredients To Make This Easy Baked Oats Recipe
- Oats: This can be rolled oats, porridge oats, or quick oats – I used porridge oats
- Almond milk: or any milk of your choice. Plant-based milks are lower in calories so I always prefer to use plant-based milk in my baked goods.
- Maple syrup: make sure it is organic and 100% maple syrup to keep it as healthy as possible as other maple syrups do contain unrefined sugars. You can use agave syrup too.
- Peanut butter: or any nut butter of your choice! Cashew butter would taste just as amazing
- Baking powder
- Pure vanilla extract: This will add extra flavour.
- Ground cinnamon: adds extra flavour and also has many health benefits such as reducing inflammation, is a natural antioxidant, and could improve insulin response.
- Chocolate: for this recipe, I used dairy milk chocolate and added a few blocks. But I have also shared photos (above) of when I used chocolate chips instead. Both ways come out incredibly delicious!

How To Make Healthy Baked Oats
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!

How To Store
- When the baked oats are completely cooled, place them in an airtight container and place them in the fridge. If you don’t do this they will start to smell bad. They will last in the fridge for 5-7 days. When you are ready to eat a slice, just place it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
- Alternatively, you can place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and place them in the freezer. Just make sure you separate them with a non-stick baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together. When you want to have a slice, just bring it out to defrost and then pop it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
