Ingredients you will need
To make my baked oats you will of course need oats. You will also need milk, eggs, cinnamon, honey, banana, and blueberries. Some of these ingredients can be substituted. Substitutions I've tested can be found below.
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 by step instructions
Below are illustrated step-by-step instructions to make baked oats, if you prefer just the written instructions then head straight to the printable recipe card or check out the video below.
Step one: Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahrenheit)
Step two: Grease a baking dish, I use a quick spray of oil
Step three: Slice banana, lay the slices in the bottom of the dish
Step four: Cover the banana with the oats
Step five: Whisk together milk, eggs, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the wet ingredients over the oats
Step six: Scatter the blueberries on top

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.

Hey Stacey
Does it matter which kind of oats you use? It looks like you used whole oats?
Cheers!
It won't matter at all, although cook time will be a little faster with the finer oats
My 10 month old loves this as a slice. Thank you!
So easy to make & yummy as well. Would this freeze?
Yes it would freeze.
This is delicious I make it as much for myself as for the kids ? and even better my little one (and me) enjoy it cold and sliced ??
This is so yum, and easy to make.
Fabulous - loved it - totally addictive
This is so yummy. I slightly under cook it and put it in the fridge, then take some out each morning and microwave for a yummy porridgy breakfast
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.
As I said if your bananas are nice and ripe you may not need any sugar.
