Substitutes

  • Milk: The milk can be substituted for any dairy-free milk alternative.
  • Honey: The honey can easily be subbed for maple syrup or brown sugar, especially if anyone under one year of age is going to be enjoying these baked oats.
  • Blueberries: These can be substituted for any berries.
  • Eggs: I have not tested this recipe without eggs or with an egg replacer.

I am an ambassador for Countdown supermarket, they support my blog by providing ingredients for recipe creation and testing. I used rolled oats, cinnamon, free-range eggs, and honey from their range in this recipe.

Step seven: Pop into the hot oven and bake for 20-25 mins (until the oats have absorbed the liquid)

Serve: as is, or with a little extra milk or yoghurt. You can either scoop it with a spoon or if you leave it to cool a little you will be able to slice it.

I am such a fan of oats, oats feature in so many of my recipes, if you are looking for other ways to serve oats to little ones, check out my baby porridge, and porridge fingers. If you love the idea of a no-stir way to cook porridge, my slow-cooker spiced apple and carrot porridge is really good and cooks while you sleep. Or peach overnight oats are the perfect no-cook oat option for the summer months.

And then when it comes to oat-based snacks I have loads! Oatmeal Muffins, Soft Oat Bars, Anzac Biscuits, Baby Cookies, baby pancakes, and no-bake energy balls.

Top Tips

Here is how you can make this baked oats recipe perfectly every time!

  • Don't forget to grease the dish, a spray of oil or a smear of butter across the base of the dish works wonders
  • To make this an easy no-fuss breakfast. When you wake up, pop on the oven to heat. Make up the porridge recipe, it takes under 5 mins. Bang it in the oven and get on with your morning. 20 mins later, breakfast is ready!

    This recipe is amazing. I made it but used 2t teaspoons of brown sugar. Next time might just use 1 teaspoon as it’s quite sweet. Topped it with Greek yoghurt sliced almonds and lemon honey.
