Blended Baked Oats are fluffy, cake-like, and feel like a real treat, but they’re packed with nutrients to keep you fueled all morning. Plus, they’re endlessly customizable—try adding chocolate chips for a dessert-like twist, fresh berries for a burst of natural sweetness, or slivered almonds for a flavor reminiscent of an almond croissant!
This post is all about how to make blended baked oats.
