As I’m typing this post, I’m listening to Spotify.

Why, oh why, did it take me so long to try Spotify? I loooove it!

I was using Pandora before, but I’m officially hooked on Spotify. It keeps me company when I’m recipe testing in the kitchen or working on other blog tasks at my computer.

And I’m a 90s girl all the way. It’s my first play list of choice, followed by the 00s. And speaking of 90s, Mambo No. 5 just came on. I’m totally showing my age here, but this song was popular when I was in high school…oh, the memories! You just can’t help but dance when that song comes on, as cheesy as it is!

Anyways, I’ll get off my soapbox now and get right to the recipe. Because that’s what you’re really here for, right?

This Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal in a Mug is perfect for those busy mornings for when you want a quick and easy breakfast. Packed with hearty oats, fresh fruit and made in the microwave, you can have this baked oatmeal ready in less than five minutes!

It’s the fourth installment of our Meal for One series! I hope you’re enjoying it so far, because I sure am. It challenges me (in a good way!) to create more recipes for just one serving. To see the past three recipes in the series, you can check out this link!

And today, I’m sharing one of my favorite oatmeal recipes with you! If you love baked oatmeal, then this single serve recipe was made for you.

A hot and easy breakfast ready in less than five minutes? You got it, friends!

If you’ve been following me long enough, you know that I’m a big fan of baked oatmeal (see this banana bread version and that pumpkin pie version). So, I took on the challenge to make an easier, microwavable version that’s the perfect amount for just one person!

This Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal in a Mug is packed with flavor. From the hearty oats, sweet banana and fresh strawberries, you’ll love the convenience (and sweet taste) of a hot breakfast, made right in your microwave. You can mix everything together in a microwavable mug or bowl, and then just pop it in the microwave.

Within minutes, your deliciously warm oatmeal is waiting to be devoured. How about that for a Meal for One breakfast?

So if you’re cooking for one, this baked oatmeal is the perfect solution for when you want a hot breakfast, without all of the prep work. It’s simple, fast, and full of flavor. And fun to make, too!

    Spotify is the greatest! We love listening to it, particularly on the weekend while we are just chilling in the kitchen. So much selection, isn't there? I searched or 90's songs a few weeks ago and just let it play. So many good songs (and I may have danced around a bit, lol). I am loving this little meal for one and so so quick to whip up - totally doable for me for busy weekdays. Pinned, of course. Hope you had a lovely long weekend :)

    I've never listened to Spotify and need to give that a try! I love that you made baked oatmeal into a quick and easy mug recipe with no oven required! Just genius, and the strawberry banana combo is one of my favorites. I will definitely be trying this!

    Hahaha Mambo #5 brings back such memories. So funny! For some reason, I stopped listening to Spotify when iTunes came out with their offering; listening to the new Shakira now! Strawberry banana is pretty much my favorite flavor combo and this oatmeal is the prettiest ever!

    Spotify is totally the best!! (I say as I'm actually listening to it right NOW!!) I seriously do not know what I'd do if I didn't have music keeping me company during all of the blog craziness too! Haha. Meanwhile, you know I just love all of your super convenient and delicious meal ideas. I love that this is just the perfect size for one serving. Breakfast love, indeed! Wishing you an awesome week ahead, Gayle! :)

    Oh this is perfect for breakfast because there is no such thing as a quiet morning in my home, it is always busy and rushed,just grabbing a slice of toast or a cup of coffee. This is so quick and easy, so no more excuses for leaving home without breakfast. Great recipe, I love it....definitely saving and pinning.????

    Sounds perfect (and a great way to use up some ripe bananas). Plus, I just bought a huge carton of strawberries at Costco today, so this NEEDS to happen! And you're not alone -- I haven't jumped on the Spotify train yet either! I need to check it out. :)

    Yess I love Pandora and Spotify! It is a rare moment that one of them is not playing music in my house. It's too quiet otherwise! This baked oatmeal looks delicious, Gayle. And I love that it's single serving!

    Hi Gayle! :) :) I've flagged this recipe as soon as I read it and, as I went to my parents' house yesterday, couldn't help trying it as an after-dinner treat for my father. :) He is such a sweet tooth and this sounded like the perfect compromise between a sweet and a healthy snack. Needless to say that it was a huge success! ;-) I've also tried it and found it delicious and comforting. Many, many thanks!! :)
