Single-Serve Double Chocolate Baked Oats
These single-serving Double Chocolate Baked Oats will make you feel like you’re eating chocolate cake for breakfast! This recipe is gluten-free with a vegan option.
Where the Baked Oats Trend Came From:
I have been making baked oatmeal for years, but this recipe was inspired by the single-served baked oats that were trending on TikTok back in 2021. Years later, they’re still perfectly delicious and a nourishing breakfast recipe.
This recipe is a little different than my usual baked oatmeal suspects. Rather than mixing all of the ingredients together in a bowl and baking them in the oven, we’re blending them! By blending up the oats together with the other ingredients, the result is like a breakfast “cake” made of oats! How cool is that?
PS – If you’re not following me on TikTok, you should do so now. 🙂
Just Blend and Bake!
Step 1: Blend Baked Oats Ingredients
With an exception of the baking powder and chocolate chips, we’ll just dump all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blitz! Next, stir stir in baking powder (do this in a bowl or right in your blender container). I learned to do this on TikTok. It helps to achieve that fluffy, cake-like texture that we’re going for.
Step 2: Bake!
Transfer the blended batter to a baking dish (make sure it’s well-greased!) and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Transfer to the oven and do the hardest part: wait!
You’ll want to use a single-serve baking dish (approx. 8 ounces!). If you have an oven-safe bowl (like a French onion soup bowl) you could also use this.

Totally delicious and I would make it again. I used broke up pieces of dark fruit and nut chocolate on top and it was sooo good. I’m definitely checking out more recipes!
Hi Kamryn! I’m so happy you enjoyed. 🙂 Love the addition of fruit and nut chocolate on top – yum!!
Hi! This recipe was great but for some reason my Vitamix didn’t blend the oats all the way through. Still yummy though. Can I substitute the rolled oats for already made oat flour? And by how much?
Hi Dee, this is not something that I’ve tried so I’m not 100% sure, but generally 1 cup rolled oats makes 1 cup oat flour, so you could try a 1:1 substitution!
Hey there! Why the baking powder in a separate bowl? I’d rather not dirty a second bowl. Scientific reason probably?
If you like, you can skip the bowl and just stir the baking powder into the blender!
Love it! My roommate also adores it. I add also some espresso powder to deepen the chocolate taste without adding extra sugar, and half a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Just don’t forget to add 1/3 cup of milk per full scoop if you don’t want a dense result like I got the first time around 😅.
Love these additions! Sounds so yummy. The espresso powder is such a great idea!
