Ingredients
For the baked oatmeal:
- ½ cup dry rolled oats
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- ½ tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp sprinkles
For the topping:
- 1 tbsp Neufchâtel cream cheese, softened (aka light cream cheese)
- 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Extra sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a small oven-safe ramekin or dish (I like using ceramic onion soup bowls; they’re a little wider and so it will cook faster).
- Place all the ingredients for the baked oatmeal except the sprinkles in a blender cup (oats, baking powder, salt, milk, maple syrup, egg, melted butter, and vanilla). Blend until smooth, then stir in the sprinkles.
- Pour into the ramekin and bake for 15-30 minutes (less time for wider dishes, more time for deeper dishes – start checking at 15 minutes). The oats are ready when a toothpick pulls out clean from the center.
- Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients for the topping by mixing together the light cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- When the baked oats are done, let cool slightly, then add the topping. Add a few extra sprinkles on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- The icing will be a very light brown color because of the maple syrup, this is normal! If you’d prefer white icing for aesthetic purposes, substitute powdered sugar in place of the maple syrup.
