I am possibly one of the worst food bloggers ever. I made this back in April. It’s, like, the middle of June. Why do I wait so long to post recipes?! This isn’t even the worst. I have another recipe I made in March I still haven’t posted!
I do it because I hear you’re supposed to tell a story when you post a recipe. I get behind on posting recipes because I want to make sure I say the exact right things and tell the perfect story. I need to remember that people don’t care so much about what I say, but whether or not they want to make the recipe!
So here is my story for this. Think Saturday morning. I stumble downstairs hungry for a sweet, hearty breakfast. What to make? Regular old oatmeal would be okay, but I already had it every day this week. Pancakes? YUM, but I really don’t feel like doing all that flipping.
Thus, the single serve oatmeal bake was born! It’s essentially my overnight oats recipe combined with my favorite oatmeal bake. Yum yum yum.
Ugh. I could eat oatmeal everyday. Oh wait… I do 😀
You can make this to share with someone, otherwise you can eat one and put the other in the fridge for a different day. It heats up wonderfully in the microwave! It’s vegan and can be made gluten free by using gf oats. Enjoy!
- Dry
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/8 cup coconut sugar (brown sugar would work)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp chia
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Wet
- 1 banana (ripe)
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax mixed with 3 tbsp water)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- optional: walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins
- Preheat oven to 350 and spray two ramekins with non stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients, oats through salt.
- In another larger bowl, mash the banana, and add the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet bowl and stir to combine.
- Lastly, add the blueberries and any other add-ins you might want (I recommend chocolate!)
- Evenly distribute the mixture into two ramekins. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until all the milk is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Refrigerate the other for breakfast another morning! Or halve the recipe for just one.
And also a big Happy Fathers Day to this guy 😀
Where did you get those ramekins? They are adorable! Also, where do you buy coconut sugar? That stuff sounds amazing!

The ramekins are from Menards!! I’m pretty sure I got my coconut sugar at the local health food store. But I’ve even seen it at Walmart!
Well better late than never, because this looks DELICIOUS!! Oatmeal. My ♥. Blueberry and banana is such an awesome combo!
Happy Father’s Day to your dad! That picture is adorable. 🙂

I used to make baked oatmeal all the time a few years ago so I definitely am going to try this sometime!

Yummy! You are far from one of the worst bloggers ever!!! You have so many wonderful things to share, it is okay to push some back. I am glad you did share it though. Great runner foods! I had my first run back in Michigan today….was nice, except for the horseflies! I hate them!
