Best Chocolate Baked Oats (Single Serve)
These super fluffy double chocolate baked oats are healthy, high-protein, and taste like a fudgy brownie. Seriously the best single-serve breakfast that's naturally sweetened with maple syrup, gluten-free, and dairy-free!
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashion rolled oats, gluten-free or regular
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- ½ large banana, extra spotty and brown = more natural sweetness
- ¼ cup milk, unsweetened vanilla almond, regular almond, oat, cashew, skim, or cow's milk
- 1 - 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 - 2 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a single-serve baking dish or ramekin.
- Add all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) to a high-speed blender and blend until fully combined.
- Pour batter into the greased ramekin and top with the chocolate chips.
- Bake for 18 - 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes. Then top with a drizzle of chocolate or Nutella if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Rolled Oats: You can use quick oats. DO NOT use steel-cut oats.
Make them Vegan: Instead of the egg, use 1 flax egg (1 Tbsp flax meal + 2.5 Tbsp warm water).
Microwave Cooking: If you are in a rush, you can also microwave chocolate baked oats in under 2 minutes. Make the batter as directed, then microwave on high for 90 – 120 seconds. The baked oats will puff up a lot and almost look like they are over-rising (that is normal); they will sink back to normal when they are done cooking. Every microwave is different, so I always check mine at the 90-second mark. If they look underdone or a little liquidy, cook in 10-second intervals until done.

Air Frying: Yes, you can also air fry this double chocolate baked oats recipe. Simply preheat your air fryer to 290°F and air fry for 12 – 15 minutes, until fluffy and risen. Check halfway through air frying; you may need to cover the top with aluminum foil if they are cooking too fast. Check this #1 Google-ranked air fryer baked oats recipe next!
Storing: For best results, store chocolate baked oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 – 8 minutes, in the oven at 350°F for 5 – 8 minutes, or in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes.
