Single-Serve Salted Caramel Almond Baked Oats (GF, Low Sugar)

I’ve FINALLY fallen in love with a banana-free, egg-free baked oatmeal recipe!! In case you are also intolerant to bananas and out of eggs, this absolutely delicious single-serve salted caramel baked oats recipe is sure to be your go-to.

Single-Serve Baked Oats

I love single-serve recipes for many reasons. First and foremost, not having to worry about storing leftovers is fantastic. On top of that though, single-serve recipes are one of my favorite ways to treat myself to a little luxury for no other reason than self care.

Single-serve baked oats are the perfect Saturday morning treat, especially if they taste like a salted caramel almond sugar cookie!

Although I created this recipe for one, it can easily be double, tripled, quadrupled, etc if you have company. Single-serve baked oats can also be tricky if you don’t have small oven-safe ramekins. I’ve had mine for YEARS and I can honestly say that I continue to surprise myself with how frequently I find myself reaching for them in my kitchen.

Whether that’s a product of living alone or my inherent no-leftovers recipe preference, I always have the set I own linked on my Amazon Storefront for whenever I reference them!

A Gluten-Free, Low Sugar Breakfast

Now that I’ve finally been able to re-incorporate gluten-free oats back into my life after being on a paleo/grain-free style diet for 3 years after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (click HERE for the full story), I find myself craving them all the time. Especially for winter months, nothing feels more comforting than a warm bowl of oatmeal on a frosty morning.

With that said, I’ve fallen in love with how I feel on a higher protein/fat breakfast compared to the cereal, bagels, and muffins I grew up with. Even though oats by themselves are incredibly healthy, they’re often filled with sugar and topped with sugary granola, honey, or fruit.

Since I’ve been so used to eating a gluten-free, low-sugar breakfast for so long yet craving oatmeal, I was determined to find a baked oatmeal recipe that supports my health! In terms of shopping for oatmeal, I look for gluten-free, organic oats in the old fashioned style rather than instant.

Salted Caramel Almond Baked Oats

Does a better flavor combination exist?!

I was initially inspired by wanting one of those classic almond-flavored sugar cookies that always make their appearance around the holidays with my morning coffee. But as soon as I pulled this single-serve baked oatmeal out of the oven and I made eye contact with my favorite Specific Carbohydrate Diet friendly Homemade Caramel Sauce, I couldn’t resist drizzling it on top.

Although keeping it simple with what would’ve been just “Almond Sugar Cookie Baked Oats” would still taste absolutely amazing, the SCD Caramel Sauce takes it to the next level!

What You’ll Need:

• Small 8-oz Oven-Safe Ramekins
• Small Food Processor/Blender
• Organic, Gluten-Free Oats
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Liquid Allulose (or sub honey)

How To Make Single-Serve Salted Caramel Almond Baked Oats:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375F. Prepare my SCD Caramel Sauce. Combine all of the ingredients together in a small blender or food processor.

Step 2: Pulse on a high setting for about 45 seconds, until the oats reach a very fine texture.

Step 3: Spray a small 8 oz. oven-safe ramekin with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the blended oatmeal batter into the ramekin.

Step 4: Bake for 25 minutes, topping with sliced almonds halfway through. Drizzle with the caramel sauce & a dash of sea salt before enjoying warm!
