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
; I can just calm down. Have you ever actually had a baking dish blow up in the oven? Ever put something metal in the microwave by accident? Yes to the metal! But I caught it in time and there was no mass destruction. O, the kitchen can be a dangerous place, not only to yourself, but to the poor little kitchenwares and appliances that call it home.
Cinnamon Cookie Oat Bake
Cinnamon Cookie Oat Bake
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.
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 25 mins
- Yield: 1 1x
- Category: Breakfast
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1/3 Cup + 1 TB Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
- 1 TB Gluten-Free Oat Flour
- 1 TB Milled Flax Seed
- 1 Tsp Date Syrup
- 1/2 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon (or more if you’re like me!)
- 1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/3 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Instructions
- 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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Ah, you and me both! I really had forgotten how good they were!
Sherry
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).
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
This is easy to prep the night before!

How can cookies for breakfast be wrong?!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Can’t be wrong!
Heather@hungryforbalance
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Thank you so much Heather!

Steph @ Steph in Thyme
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I’m so off and on with which I want! On the hottest day I’ll crave hot oats and the coldest day, overnight! It all just depends!
Honest mum
Wow yummy! Thanks for linking up x

Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner
that looks like my kind of oatmeal for sure! I did have a glass dish break in the oven a few years back. Apparently broiling it wasn’t a good idea 🙂 Thanks for linking up today!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, I’m always scared to put anything in the broiler!

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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
That’s an awesome idea! And some vegan caramel drizzle 😉
Rachael
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Yes! Well you can make your normal oatmeal right in the ramekin too 😉 Believe, everything tastes better in a ramekin anyway!
Rachael
lol!
kimmythevegan
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You break them? :O
kimmythevegan
Oh yes I do. I’m kind of klutzy ;p

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table
I get nervous putting them in the oven too! They’re so small… it just seems like they shouldn’t be in too much heat. Ha!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I know! The precious little ramekins :O I really would cry if it ever blew up or broke!
Sarah
I love all oats, all the time. I can’t even say I like warm in the winter and cold overnight oats in the summer because I still switch those up year round too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, yes! Same here!
Annmarie
LOVE cinnamon! This looks delicious!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Cinnamon always!

This looks wonderful. I love oats in all of their incarnations! The date syrup will be a new ingredient for me; I love dates, so I bet the syrup will be fabulous!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, me too!
It was my first time with the date syrup, but a nice natural sugar!
Tiffani
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You know exactly 😉 Make some mugcakes too!
Paige @ Your Trainer Paige
This sounds comforting! I’ve never tried date syrup.

Any time is a great time for oats! I hope you do try this easy recipe!!

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Exactly! Baked Oats are just extra special and yummy!
sarah grace
ooo yum! I love my oats either baked or in overnight form (with it being so hot here in FL!)..but I honestly am not a big breakfast food person (gasp) haha I know, very untypical of a food blogger!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Okay, great!
Dapinder

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Glad you’re brought up to breakfast speed now!
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Alisa, I will get you a ramekin and deliver you some of this baked oatmeal then 😉

Lynda@fitnessmomwinecountry
Rebecca this is a great recipe, I love it. I would totally make these for snacks pre and post running and even race day. We use Ramekins all the time in the kitchen and love cooking with them. I am a fan of instant {sugar free} oatmeal.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, yea, any oatmeal and I’m a fan, but baked is always a special treat!

I don’t own any ramekins but have always wanted to get some…I like the idea of individual servings. This cinnamon oatmeal “cookie” sounds great for breakfast!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine

Gretta

O yes 😉 The smell may be the best part!
Kayla @Blondes Have More Run
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!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Haha, yea that’s why it’s suggested you bake these the night before!
CARLA

Mmmmm! Baked oats are my favourite! Cinnamon always makes the perfect addition, and I love that you used date syrup to sweeten it. Yummy! What a perfect breakfast idea 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
This had been my first time with date syrup! I love it! (I only had a little sample), but it was perfect!
