Baked Oats Jar

How to Make Baked Oats Jar

1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat and prepare jars

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two 8-ounce (240 ml) oven-safe jars or ramekins with about half of the melted butter (reserve the rest for the batter) to prevent sticking and help the edges brown.

   Step 2: Whisk together dry ingredients

   In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed so the leavening and spices are well mixed into the oat base.

   For this step

   • 1 cuprolled oats (old-fashioned)
   • 1 tspbaking powder
   • 1 tspground cinnamon
   • 1/4 tspfine sea salt

   Step 3: Mix wet ingredients and combine

   In a separate bowl whisk the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the remaining melted butter until smooth. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — do not overmix to keep tender texture.

   For this step

   • 1 cupmilk (dairy or non-dairy)
   • 1 largelarge egg
   • 2 tbspmaple syrup (or honey)
   • 1 tspvanilla extract

   Step 4: Assemble jars with fruit

   Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared jars, filling each about 3/4 full to allow for rise. Gently fold berries into the batter or layer them on top; pressing a few on the surface will caramelize slightly and create pockets of fruit as they bake.

   For this step

   • 1 cupmixed berries (fresh or frozen)

   Step 5: Bake until set with desired texture

   Place jars on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–26 minutes. For creamier centers, aim for 20–22 minutes; for a firmer, more cake-like texture and crisper edges, bake 24–26 minutes. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs for best texture.

   Step 6: Cool and serve or store

   Let jars cool 10 minutes (they’ll continue to set) before serving warm, or let fully cool and refrigerate with lids for up to 3 days. Reheat covered in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 10–12 minutes or microwave for 60–90 seconds to enjoy warm on the go.
