I love a good, cozy oatmeal breakfast bowl. These Banana Blueberry Baked Oats are just that – perfect for slow mornings. They’re warm, fluffy, and naturally sweetened with banana, then studded with juicy blueberries. I threw this one together when I was feeling nostalgic about my baked oatmeal breakfasts in college, but wanted to give it a little protein boost.

Growing up, most oatmeal recipes I ate were pretty low in protein. I love this breakfast because it makes for a nice change from my usual eggs and avocado toast while still meeting my protein needs. The protein comes from Greek yogurt, which also gives the oats a fluffy and moist texture!

Nutrition Spotlight

Oats are an excellent source of fiber and slow-digesting carbs. The ripe banana adds natural sweetness, and the Greek yogurt sneaks in some added protein. Toss in almond butter for healthy fats, blueberries for antioxidants, and you have yourself a perfectly balanced meal in one little ramekin.

The Perfect Single-Serve High-Protein Oatmeal

If you’re usually a stove-top oatmeal person, the nice thing about baked oats is that you prepare everything in a bowl, add it to an oiled ramekin, and let the oven do all the work!

This one is totally customizable, too. Keep it dairy-free with plant-based yogurt (keep in mind this will lower total protein), swap nut butters, or go dessert mode and add dark chocolate chips on top.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Ripe banana
  • Almond butter
  • Rolled oats
  • Plant-based or regular milk
  • Greek yogurt, non-fat
  • Baking powder
  • Cinnamon
  • Sea salt
  • Blueberries

Tips + Variations

  • Swap almond butter for peanut butter or cashew butter.
  • Dairy-free option: Use coconut yogurt and plant-based milk.
  • Extra indulgent: Sprinkle dark chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • For extra protein: Use pea or soy milk.
