    Protein Baked Oatmeal for One

    If you've had baked oats before, you know they're a deliciously easy to get a nourishing breakfast. Blended oats creates a perfect base for all your favorite breakfast ingredients, and the texture is almost like cake! And this baked oats for one is vegan, so simple to make, and packed with flavor! Best of all, you can top it with creamy melty nut butter and chocolate chips to make it an even more decadent breakfast treat!

    Can you put protein in oatmeal?

    You sure can! Protein powder adds a boost of filling protein to help keep you satisfied all morning, and it's so easy! Just use your favorite protein powder and toss about a tablespoon into this single serve baked oatmeal recipe!

    Are baked oats good for you?

    I find them to be a satisfying, delicious meal that keeps me full. That said, whether they're good for you depends a lot on your personal nutritional needs. There are so many great ingredients in these protein baked oats - banana, peanut butter, oats, and protein, all great sources of nutrients!

    How do you make protein oatmeal bakes?

    • old fashioned oats - be sure to use old-fashioned oats to make sure that the texture comes out right.
    • protein powder - you can use any protein powder you like. Be sure to use plant-based protein powder to keep this protein baked oats vegan!
    • unsweetened cocoa powder - gives this protein baked oats chocolate flavor!
    • baking powder - we'll use a little baking powder to give these oats a nice lift.
    • maple syrup - I use maple syrup which keeps this baked oats vegan, but you can substitute another sweetener of your choice if you like.
    • banana - your banana should be ripe -- the more ripe your banana is, the sweeter these oats will be.
    • milk - I use almond milk, but feel free to use any plant milk or dairy milk you like.
    • peanut butter - you can use peanut butter or another nut butter or seed butter of your choice. This step is optional but results in a rich, melty topping for our protein baked oatmeal for one!

    Equipment Needed

    First, you'll definitely need a blender or food processor for this protein baked oatmeal for one -- it helps break down the oats into a fine oat flour. That's how we'll get the soft cake-like texture we want! Then, you'll want an oven-safe ramekin with an 8-ounce capacity. You can also use an oven-safe mug, but depending on the shape of the mug it may increase the baking time for your single serve baked oatmeal.

    Tips and F.A.Q.

    Is baked oats good for weight loss?

    Each serving of these baked oats (without toppings) has 424 calories, 23 grams of protein, and 7 grams of fiber. I have read that foods high in fiber and protein can be good for blood sugar regulation and can help with following a low-calorie diet. That said, be sure you consult your own doctor or nutritional expert for advice on how these baked oats will work for you! Nutrition Disclaimer

    What is a serving size of baked oatmeal?

    This vegan single serve baked oatmeal recipe yields one serving of baked oats, enough for an 8-ounce ramekin or mug.

    Why are my baked oats soggy?

    If your protein baked oats are soggy, they may need a bit more time in the oven. You can also limit excess moisture by choosing a banana that isn't overripe.

    Protein Baked Oats - Microwave Option

    If you like, you can make these healthy baked oats for one in a microwave in just 2 minutes! Heat the ramekin on high for 1-2 minutes, checking after 1 ½ minutes. 

    Protein Baked Oats - Meal Prep Option

    This is also an excellent meal prep idea! Just use the ingredient adjustment buttons in the recipe card below to scale up the recipe up to 3x and store additional servings in a tightly-covered container in the fridge. Heat in microwave 60-90 seconds to serve.
