A comforting way to start the morning and ease into the day. Like a cookie warm from the oven, this cinnamon cookie oat bake is full of nourishing whole grains, is gluten-free and vegan, with no refined sugars. Pure and simple sweetness that will make the soul smile.
I forgot how much I love baked oats! (Recipe circa summer ’14). I had just gotten my own and only little white ramekin from Bed, Bath & Beyond and could finally start making “fun” breakfasts. I had always wanted to make some baked oatmeal, single-serve, just for me, but didn’t have the proper baking vessel. Lucky for me I did a little shopping with the many gift cards I had from BB&B and found the most perfect little dish. This ramekin has now seen it all and I cherish it as much as I cherish my Red Bowl. **Update on the red bowl: it has a chip in the enamel right on the rim. It happened during transport from college to home, I think during Spring Break.** If something ever happens to this ramekin though…I will cry. I’m kicking myself now and should have bought more than just one. Maybe they have more? I’ll have to look!
This ramekin is just the perfect size and depth for so many things. I don’t know what size it is…but it’s perfect for one! From ramekincakes mugcakes to breakfast bakes, normal oatmeal or baked oats, this little white dish always stands true and never lets my foodie soul down. One time I tried making a mugcake in an actual mug, not this ramekin and it was a fail. It never got cake-like and I knew from that point on to never “cheat” on my little ramekin again.
I was always a bit nervous to be baking with this ramekin in the oven, but that’s what it’s made for! Microwave or real oven, it won’t blow up. It’s ceramic
Cinnamon Cookie Oat Bake
- ⅓ Cup + 1 TB Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
- 1 TB Gluten-Free Oat Flour
- 1 TB Milled Flax Seed
- 1 Tsp Date Syrup
- ½ Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- ½ Tsp Cinnamon (or more if you're like me!)
- ¼ Tsp Baking Powder
- ⅓ Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir to combine.
- Lightly grease a single-serve ramekin with some coconut oil and then transfer the oatmeal mixture into the ramekin.
- Bake the ramekin in the oven for 20 minutes. Enjoy right away, or let cool, cover with foil or plastic, and save it for the morning. To reheat, simple microwave for about 1 minute.
This really is like a cinnamon oat cookie. So good and so hearty for breakfast. Only subtly sweet, but all the cinnamon goodness is spot on. I love taking that first “break-in” scoop with my spoon, into the warm deep oat “cookie”, savoring the warm yumminess. It’s one of those breakfast comforts that warms the belly and soul. All oatmeals do that though. I think the ranking of oat comfort would be first baked oats, then normal creamy hot oats, then overnight oats last. But really, any oats in my ramekin and I am a happy-camper!
So tell me:
+ Do you have a ramekin or bowl you always use for breakfast? Oatmeal would never be the same without it!
+ Pick one: Baked oats, hot oatmeal, or overnight oats? Eh, I think I’ll still go with hot creamy oatmeal!

I was OBSESSED with baked oats in the summer. For some reason I stopped doing anything with them. This needs to change!! This looks so good!
Cathleen @ A Taste Of Madness recently posted…5 Ingredient Corn and Black Bean Chili
Ah, you and me both! I really had forgotten how good they were!
I’ll stick with the hot creamy oatmeal for now, one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast (I can make it and eat it on the run).

How can cookies for breakfast be wrong?!
Sandy Sandmeyer recently posted…Azio EXO1 Gaming Mouse
Can’t be wrong!
I love oats in all forms, but my favorite usually depends on the time of year. Right now, overnight oats or some raw oats to top my smoothies are my favorite.
This recipe looks divine!

I have a set of four smallish ramekins and I LOVE them. So easy to portion out individual servings. I prefer hot oatmeal in the winter and overnight oats packed with blueberries in the summer. I love rolled oats!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Oatmeal bakes! love your cinnamon cookie version of it! I like to make mine with coconut and chocolate chips so it`s like a samoa cookie! Happy FF and thanks for sharing Rebecca!
That’s an awesome idea! And some vegan caramel drizzle 😉
Can’t wait to try this! I’ll have to buy a single serve ramekin first, lol, but we’ve been meaning to get a few for a while. I love hot oatmeal in the morning, but like to mix it up with baked oatmeal since I can make that ahead of time and just pull it out of the fridge and pop it in the microwave in the morning. I’m going to pin this, thanks for sharing!
Rachael recently posted…Healthy Banana Flax French Toast Casserole
Yes! Well you can make your normal oatmeal right in the ramekin too 😉 Believe, everything tastes better in a ramekin anyway!
lol!
Cookie for breakfast! Yes! I have gone through so many ramekins :/ I stopped buying them as I don’t have a great track record. I tend to buy 4 at a time though just in case ;p
Thanks for sharing this at HVF – I’m pinning this!

It was my first time with the date syrup, but a nice natural sugar!
We were gifted with a ramekin a few months back and I have yet to use it! After reading your recipe, I know exactly what I can use it for, this sounds delicious!

I used to be quite routine with my breakfasts and had favorite bowls, but these days, my breakfasts vary so much. I think I’d pick hot oatmeal, too!

mmmm! That looks and sounds amazing. I’m such a sucker for anything oatmeal. When it’s warmer out or I’m in a rush in the morning, I love overnight oats. In the colder weather I definitely love me some hot creamy bowl of oats. I’m don’t have much experience with baked its and I can tell you it’s because I don’t feel like waiting that long for it to bake to have my breakfast!
