When a friend asks if you want to go to dinner, but have already eaten, then you say "もう食べた".

Is there a way of saying "just ate" (a few minutes ago). Maybe it is another way of saying もう食べた

I would say

今食べたところ（だ・です）

This literally means "I just ate".

I think it's a little more neutral than 食べたばかり（だ・です）.

ばかり feels more like "I can't/won't eat any more" where ところ feels more like "I just had dinner".
