A quick and easy baked oats recipe that tastes like cake but offers the wholesome goodness of oats. Perfect for cozy mornings, this recipe is simple, satisfying, and customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g) – old-fashioned oats work best
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (120g), small-curd, well-drained
  • 3/4 cup milk (180ml) – dairy or almond milk
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (60ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons butter (30g), melted
  • Optional mix-ins: handful of chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking dish or ramekins with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and milk until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture and wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or berries if using.
  7. Pour batter into the baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  9. Let the baked oats rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm, plain or with a drizzle of yogurt or fresh fruit.

Notes

Blending the cottage cheese and milk creates a smooth, cake-like texture. Do not overmix the batter to keep it light. If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Batter can be prepared the night before and refrigerated. Toss fresh fruit in flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
