Biscoff Baked Oats is a perfect indulgent but healthy vegan breakfast, snack or dessert that comes together in no time. It’s made with rolled oats, banana, plant milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and an ooey gooey melty dollop of the famous Lotus Biscoff spread in the center.
If you love blended baked oats that took over TikTok a while ago, you MUST try this Biscoff version of the ramekin baked oatmeal goodness. It’s one of those wholesome, comforting treats that will totally hit the spot when you feel like you absolutely have to have something sweet right this moment.
The best part is definitely the melted “lava” of Biscoff cookie butter in the middle but the blended oat “cake” around it is fluffy, decadent and equally delicious!

What is biscoff
Biscoff is the name of iconic biscuits made by a Belgian company called Lotus. They are famous for their caramelized spiced flavor and crumbly yet chewy texture. Delta Airlines serves these cookies as a snack so my oldest son refers to them as “the cookies they give you on the plane”.
This recipe does not use the cookies but rather a cookie spread called Biscoff Cookie Butter made by the same company. The spread is essentially like peanut butter but made with cookies instead of nuts. It may sound a bit odd but it’s insanely delicious and seriously addictive!

Ingredient notes
- Rolled Oats: old fashioned rolled oats or quick cooking oats will both work.
- Biscoff Cookie Butter: I used the Lotus Biscoff brand but other brands of speculoos cookie spread are great, too! Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods have their own version of cookie butter.
- Banana: make sure it’s ripe for best results.
- Plant-based Milk: use whatever milk you like, as long as it’s not sweetened: oat, almond, soy, coconut milk in a carton or cow’s milk are all great.
- Cinnamon: to deepen the Biscoff flavor.
- Vanilla: use real vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste.
- Salt: just a pinch to balance out the flavors.
- Baking Powder: to help baked oats rise
- Ground Flaxseed: it acts like egg replacer but also provides extra omega 3’s and fiber.
- Maple Syrup: use pure maple syrup as sweetener.
How to make this recipe
Step 1: Place all ingredients in a blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Transfer the batter to a ramekin. I usually lightly spray the ramekin with some oil to prevent baked oats from sticking but you can skip this step.
Step 4: Add a dollop of cookie butter in the middle. If you want, decorate the top with a sprinkle of brown sugar (for decoration).
Step 5: Bake. 20-25 minutes in the oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 minutes in the air fryer at 340 degrees will be enough.
Serving & storage suggestions
Serve Biscoff Baked Oats slightly cooled but still warm. I like to eat baked oats with a side of berries and a cup of tea.
Since this is a single serving recipe, I would imagine it will be eaten right away and it’s really best straight from the oven. If, however, you’d like to make it and enjoy later, let it cool completely, cover the top with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, remove the wrap and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm up.
Recipe FAQs
Any blender will work. I’ve made blended baked oats using my Vitamix and Ninja blender and both worked great.
Yes! Use whatever baking dish that holds 8 ounces and is oven safe. Ovenproof Pyrex glass containers work well.
You can but I highly recommend baking or air frying for best texture. If all you have is a microwave oven, cook for 90 seconds, check the baked oats with a toothpick and they need more time, keep microwaving in 15-seconds increments until the oats are set. Don’t overcook or they’ll turn hard and rubbery.
No. Steel cut oats are harder than rolled oats and won’t blend properly to achieve cake-like texture when baked.
Baked oats are similar to warm cake: soft, fluffy, moist and comforting.
Yes, but they are best when eaten warm. You will want to wait a couple minutes after taking the ramekin out of the oven because they will be VERY hot (especially the melted Biscoff spread). Once they cool to room temperature, baked oats turn harder and have a less pleasant texture. In that case, just nuke it for 15-30 seconds to warm up and enjoy!
No. Because Biscoff cookies are made with wheat and the cookie spread is made with Biscoff cookies, these baked oats are not gluten free. However, if you can’t have gluten, you should check out this and this blended baked oats recipe.
Yes! Lotus Biscoff cookies and cookie spread are vegan friendly. If you’re using a different brand of cookie butter, check the label!

Shanty says
I dont have flax seed can i use egg? How many?
Agnieszka says
Hi Shanty. You can probably skip flax all together and it should work just fine. If you want to use eggs, one smaller egg should work in this recipe.

Hey! love the recipe! Just wanted to let you know that Lotus bakeries is a Belgian company founded in 1932 🙂 I just know that my fellow Belgians wouldn't love it if people thought it was Dutch because we're pretty proud of the brand hahaha.
Kind regards

Hi Noa. Thanks SO MUCH for letting me know. I have 2 other Biscoff recipes on my site and I got it right in those other 2 but for some reason I got it mixed up in this one.

So, I don't like banana... or yogurt, or applesauce. Is there anything I can use to replace the banana in baked oats recipes?
Agnieszka says
You can skip banana and add more plant milk.
