How to Make Cakey Baked Oats
So you want to know how to make these snickers baked oats. And you also want the secret sauce to making cakey baked oats? Well, get out a pencil and take notes, because I’m going to outline how to baked oats perfectly.
- In a bowl, add in the oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix together all of the dry ingredients well.
- Then, pour in the cashew milk, vanilla extract, stevia drops and lemon juice. Mix the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, until it resembles super thick waffle batter. The consistency of the batter will determine if your oats turn out cakey OR if they turn out goopy. The thicker the batter the more cakey the oats will be. However, don’t think that the thicker the batter the better. Oh no! There is a sweet spot, so don’t try to make the batter too thick.
- Once mixed, pour the batter into a ramekin and bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes, until puffed and cracked on top.
- Once done baking, drizzle with a giant tablespoon of the caramel (recipe and tutorial linked below), chopped nuts and enjoy!
Substitutions
- Oats: If you’d like to make these baked oats gluten-free simply opt for gluten-free oats and grind them into an oat flour.
- Protein powder: You can replace it with 3 tbsp spelt flour. However, any protein powder brand will work!
- Liquid Stevia: granulated monk fruit sugar, regular cane sugar, granulated date sugar or any type of granulated sweetener will work here. Instead of using 5-6 drops, you’ll probably need to use about 1-2 tsp instead of a liquid or granulated sweetener.
- Cashew milk: Feel free to use any plant milk you have on hand.
- Lemon juice: Substitute with apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.

Why these Blended Baked Oats are Healthy
Fluffy, fudgy, Snickers Baked Oats with tons of sticky caramel syrup…you might be wondering if this baked oatmeal is even healthy. The answer is YES!
These caramel and chocolate baked oats are packed with protein, oats and chocolate which are all linked to a host of benefits. I’ll leave a few benefits of each of these ingredients down below:
- Oats: Have been linked to lowering blood sugar levels and lowering risk of heart disease. Oatmeal is also rich in antioxidants and avenanthramides. Avenanthramides have been shown to help lower blood pressure by producing nitric oxide which helps dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow. Additionally, avenanthramides and antioxidants. are also anti-inflammatory. Furthermore, oatmeal also contains a type of soluble fiber called beta-glucan that can increase growth of good bacteria in the gut!
- Sun Warrior Protein Power: unlike any other protein powders, this protein powder is not only packed with plant-based protein from peas, brown rice and quinoa, it’s also sprouted. Sprouting foods, especially grains, makes them more bioavailable, meaning that it’s easier for your body to absorb nutrients and it’s easier to digest. If you want to get the same protein powder I use, click the link here – use code MWM10 for a discount.
- Cocoa Powder: have a ton of antioxidants, such as flavanols, catechins and polyphenols. In fact, they have more antioxidants than even blueberries! These are essential for fighting against free radicals (harmful cancerous cells) in the body. Additionally, flavanols (remember, these are antioxidants) stimulate endothelium, a lining in your arteries to produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is super important for relaxing your arteries, which helps blood flow more easily and also lowers blood pressure. So lowered blood pressure and easier blood flow (aka more energy and focus).
