Baked oatmeal has become one of my absolute favorite breakfasts and this recipe at the top of my list 😊
This Single Serve Banana Protein Baked Oatmeal is gluten-free (as long as you use gluten-free oats), dairy-free, and added-sugar free. It contains healthy protein, fat, and fiber making it a perfectly well-balanced breakfast option. It is also extremely simple to make and you can easily make it ahead of time if you rush out the door in the morning.
What is baked oatmeal?
Baked oatmeal is basically a muffin and oatmeal hybrid! You take all of the ingredients you would normally add to oats and bake it in the oven creating the most DELICIOUS cake/muffin-like texture.
What you will need for this recipe:
- 1/2 banana— the spottier, the better! The banana adds some natural sweetness and a delicious texture to this recipe.
- oats— I typically go for organic because oats are high in glyphosate. Gluten-free if needed
- protein powder— I love Sprout Living vanilla protein powder in this recipe (discount code: callascleaneats). The protein poweder also adds a bit of sweetness so if you skip it, make sure to add sweetener of choice.
- chia seeds— I use a small amount of chia seeds to help bind the oatmeal together and also to add some healthy fiber.
- non-dairy milk of choice— I typically use almond, cashew, or oat milk.
- cinnamon, sea salt, and baking soda

Hi do you know calories? Thanks!
Ok I made this once when I was bored and now it’s become a regular for me about 4 days a week! So quick, so easy and soooo delicious thank you Calla!!!

Would you know the carb, fiber and protein counts on all of your baked oatmeal recipes?
To anyone interested in the nutritional value, this meal comes down to 370 kcals (54g carbs, 9g fat, 18g protein). I did use the whole banana though (about 111g), so if you only use the half, you can subtract about 50kcals.
It really was a delicious breakfast on a lazy Saturday morning!
