Welcome to Day 2 of my Ramadan 2023 series! Today, I’m sharing a great recipe for sahur or suhoor, which is the morning meal we have before fasting for the day. And that is baked oats.

Even if it’s not for suhoor, you can always maintain it as a healthy breakfast option as it can keep you full for a long time. My husband and I have been indulging in variations of this dish over the past few months, and we’ve been hooked!

Healthy Baked Oats

Baked oats had their moment of glory on TikTok a couple of years ago, and it seemed like everyone was giving it a go. It’s a spin on the classic oatmeal, but with a more dessert-leaning taste.

Essentially, you just have to blend the ingredients required together before setting it in the oven to bake. Depending on the ratio of oatmeal to milk used, the resulting baked oats can have an airy cake or muffin-like feel, or a denser cookie dough texture.

Easy Cookie Dough Baked Oats (No Banana)

My cookie dough baked oats is inspired by this viral recipe from Calla Ramont. However, instead of using bananas to sweeten and provide moisture to the dish, I use Medjool dates instead.

Medjool dates are soft, chewy, and possess a caramel-like flavor, making it a great natural sweetener.

Ingredients You’ll Need

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

  • Old fashioned oatmeal
  • Milk 
  • Egg
  • Baking powder
  • Medjool dates or banana
  • Protein powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chocolate chips
  • Chocolate squares

how to make cookie dough baked oats (no banana)

  1. Before starting, soak the medjool dates to soften it and remove the pits. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. In a blender or food processor, add all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips and chocolate squares. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour into a greased ramekin/oven safe dish. If you are using the chocolate squares, pour half of the mixture then add the chocolate squares before pouring in the rest of the mixture.
  4. Add chocolate chips on top and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let it set for 5-10 minutes and enjoy!

Notes for Cookie Dough Baked Oats

Cookie dough vs cake/soft cookie texture

If you like a cookie dough texture, lessen the amount of oatmeal to milk by 1-2 tbsp, like in this recipe. But if you like a baked cake or soft cookie texture, the ratio for oatmeal and milk is 1:1. 

Medjool dates substitution

Feel free to substitute the medjool dates with half a banana.

Sweetness level

For me, this measurement is just the right amount of sweetness, but you can also add more medjool dates, honey or maple syrup to make it sweeter. 

Protein powder substitution

You can also use cocoa/cacao powder instead of protein powder if you prefer.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top!

This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
