Baked oats are an easy and delicious way to make a satisfying, filling (breakfast) meal. They take very little time to put together, and they taste wonderful – almost like eating a slice of cake.
They are full of protein and fibre, and keep you full for a long time.
This quantity makes 2 slightly larger ramekins of about 250 ml, or 4 smaller ones.
If you don’t have small ovenproof dishes, you can also spoon the batter into muffin tins – that makes about 8.
Baked oats with apple and cinnamon are lovely topped with a little skyr (Icelandic-style thick yogurt) or Greek yogurt, some chopped nuts and fresh apple. It complements the flavours beautifully and makes the dish fresh and light.

You can easily make baked oats in the air fryer – it is both quick and simple.
In my air fryer the oats need 10 minutes at 170°C, and then I let them rest for about 5-8 minutes outside the air fryer, which gives the perfect consistency.
Reheating baked oats
Baked oats reheat well, so if a portion doesn’t get eaten, simply put it in the fridge.
It reheats quickly and easily in the microwave, where it needs no more than about 30-45 seconds.
