Blended Baked Oats (without banana) Recipe

Blended Baked Oats (without banana) might just be your new favorite meal prep breakfast.

The cake-like texture makes them feel like you’re having dessert for breakfast—without the sugar crash. Honestly, you could totally pass these off as cake and no one would bat an eye. (You might even win the coolest parent ever award!)

Notes

PRO TIP: Don't skip the video! In the first 15 seconds I'm sharing my secret for perfect baked oats so your chocolate chips don't sink to the bottom of the batter.
To make White Chocolate Cranberry Oats - omit the cocoa powder and add ¾ cup white chocolate chips and ½ cup dried cranberries. 
If you're using a toothpick to check for doneness, be sure to insert it in a spot without chocolate chips for an accurate result.
If you want your baked oats to look just like mine, reserve a couple of tablespoons of the chocolate chips (and cranberries, if you're making that version) and sprinkle them on top right before baking.
