If you love Reese's peanut butter cups, you're going to adore these Reese's baked oats.
Just like the candy, these oats are chocolatey on the outside, and full of peanut butter on the inside. While they feel like a dessert for breakfast, they're actually a high-protein option at 23g. Depending on your health goals, these may be a great choice!
How Do You Make These Reese's Baked Oats?
While it may sound complicated, this recipe is actually very easy. You pretty much throw everything in a blender, add your toppings and let them bake. The hardest part is waiting for them to cook, I promise.
Substitutions
I've made my oats vegan and high-protein, but I understand that you might be after something different. While I can't list substitutions for everything, here are some basic swaps that will work here.
- Egg replacer: My choice is this egg replacer. If you don't have/ don't want to use that, you can also use a regular egg or flax egg instead.
- Banana: Don't like banana? Switch it out for yogurt (coconut or greek work best).
- Vegan protein powder: If you don't have protein powder, it's alright to skip it. Instead use either powdered peanut butter, or add 2 tablespoon extra oats to the blender.
- Maple syrup: Any sweetener works. Depending on your protein powder, you may not need any.
- Soy milk: Use any milk you like best. It should do the trick just as well.
Can I Prep Baked Oats The Night Before?
If you don't want to use a blender in the morning, I get it. Good news: you can 100% prep baked oats the night before.
If you're planning to prep them in advance, follow these steps:
- Blend the oats the night before and set aside.
- In the morning, first mash the banana in a bowl. Add blender ingredients to bowl, and stir.
- Now, fill the ramekin and bake the oats according to the recipe instructions.
Easy as that!

Was it chocolate protein powder? I guess that's what you used? Anyway, i added some extra cacao. They turned out well.
Simply Fresh Foodie says
Hi Cynthia. Yeah, I used chocolate protein powder. You could also add some coca alongside a different flavoured protein (about 1 Tbsp) or swap the protein powder for coca instead.
