Nutella Baked Oats without Banana

In this recipe, oats are blended with Milk, Honey, Egg, Salt and Baking Powder.

Then chocolate chips and Nutella are added.

The oats are then baked until they are crisp on the outside and gooey in the middle. 

The appeal with this recipe is that it feels like you are having a cake for breakfast!

I don’t like to add Banana because I feel like it overpowers the flavour of the oats too much but you can add half a mashed ripe banana in place of the Eggs if you like.

Can I use another Chocolate Spread?

Nutella is a brand of sweet hazelnut chocolate spread.It is manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero and was first introduced in 1964. You can sub this with your favourite chocolate spread if you prefer.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Oats 

This recipe works well with all Oats. Rolled Oats, Gluten Free Oats and even Quick Oats.

Nutella 

Or any Chocolate spread that you enjoy. We add some in the middle and a little on top when it is straight out of the oven.

Egg 

This helps to bind all the ingredients together, adds protein and creates lift.

Milk

Any milk will work including plant based milks.

Honey 

Or Brown Sugar, White Sugar, Agave or Maple Syrup.

Baking Powder

This make the oats fluffier.

Salt

Just a pinch of Salt brings the flavours together.

Chocolate Chips

These are optional but I like that dotting these throughout the oats adds flavour throughout.

FAQs

Are Nutella Baked Oats Healthy?

Oats are healthy and nutrient dense. Nutella..not so much.

However overall the recipe is fine as part of a balanced diet.

If you are watching what you eat, I would suggest reducing the amount of Nutella used here.

Can I make these without a blender?

You don’t need a blender to make the recipe if you purchase Oat flour and use that instead. 

How long should I cook baked oats?

The timing depends on the dish. Wider dished will need a much shorter bake time because of the depth of the batter. In wider dishes I would suggest 10 - 15 minutes baking time.

Can Baked Oats be made ahead of time?

Baked Oats are best eaten fresh because the Nutella and chocolate chips are gooey and warm at that time!

Can I make these in the Microwave?

Yes you can bake in the microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. 

How to store baked oats?

These easy Nutella baked oats keep well for up to a week in the fridge but they will need to be reheated before eating. Simply pop into the microwave to cook.
