What are baked oats, and how different are they from baked breakfast cereal? To make baked oats, you have to mix all your ingredients like rolled oats, bananas, egg, honey or maple syrup, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder in a blender until you get a smooth, ribbon-y batter. Transfer the batter onto a greased pan, top it up with nuts and chocolates or any topping of your choice. Bake until soft. Sounds like a 'cakewalk'. Doesn't it?
