What Does The Baked Oats TikTok Recipe Taste Like?

These TikTok baked oats are a sure hit to kids and kids at heart because of their airy, cake-like texture.

It’s a versatile recipe so the flavor will depend on you. This blended baked oats recipe uses cocoa powder and banana, so it’s perfect for choco-banana lovers.

The combination of the two is not too sweet and rich for breakfast. But me being a sweet tooth, I like to add chocolate shavings over my warm baked oats. 🤤

These banana chocolate baked oats are perfect for black coffee without being too heavy, like choco banana muffins.

And speaking of banana chocolate desserts, I recommend checking out this double chocolate banana bread recipe.

It’s so decadent that it’s more of a dessert than bread. And when I describe this banana bread as loaded with chocolate, I really mean it!

Are Baked Oats Healthy?

Oats are the base of the TikTok baked oats, which means the recipe can be a healthy breakfast option. Remember how oatmeal brands promote their products as good for the heart?

Well, the claim is true since consuming oats can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases!

However, my favorite thing about oats is they’re rich in fiber, which makes them very filling. Instead of having multiple unhealthy snacks throughout the day, start your day right with oats for breakfast, and they should keep you full for a long time.

You can also use healthy ingredients like nuts and fruits in your baked oats mixture. Then, pick a low-calorie liquid sweetener instead of those made with refined sugars.

What Are The Benefits Of The Viral TikTok Baked Oats?

We’re all familiar with having oats for breakfast as oatmeal.

And while oatmeal can be topped with anything you like, the mushy texture is sometimes unappetizing, especially in the morning. So when I saw this TikTok recipe, I knew I had to try it because the ramekins look so delicious with those puffy baked oats!

The recipe uses common pantry ingredients for the base, but you can substitute the unsweetened cocoa powder and ripe bananas to make the flavor you like.

I know some people are not a fan of bananas, especially in desserts, because they can mask the flavors of other ingredients. 😫

But what do bananas taste like anyway?

I was curious about why they have an unmistakable flavor compared to others, so I researched for you. Give that a quick read; I promise it’s very interesting!

Ingredients For Baked Oats

• Rolled oats – Rolled oats are best for this baked oats recipe because they can be blended finely for the perfect batter consistency.
• Baking powder – Want to ensure a light texture on your breakfast cake (ahem, I mean breakfast oats?) The secret is baking powder to avoid flat, mushy baked oats.
• Egg – Baked oats are able to achieve a cake-like consistency mainly because of the egg. But if you want an eggless baked oats recipe, I’ve talked about the substitute below.
• Banana – You can omit the banana in this recipe and substitute it with any of your favorite fruits.
• Maple syrup – I’m using maple syrup instead of sugar to sweeten these baked oats.
• Cocoa powder – Since I want chocolate baked oats, I’ve added cocoa powder to the recipe. You can also omit it if you want a non-chocolate base.
• Salt – Balances the sweetness of this yummy breakfast-dessert innovation!
• Cooking spray – To grease the ramekin and keep the batter from sticking, I’ve chosen cooking spray instead of butter.
• Semi-sweet chocolate bar – This is entirely optional, but shaving a chocolate bar over the warm baked oats is just the perfect finishing touch on this chocolate version of the viral recipe.

Tools Needed To Prepare Baked Oats

• Food processor for blending the ingredients
• Ramekin for baking the batter

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For The Trending Baked Oats

Rolled oats

If you don’t have rolled oats, you can also use quick oats for this TikTok baked oats recipe. The only oats you can’t use on baked oatmeal recipes are steel cut oats because they don’t blend as finely.

Egg

The egg helps the baked oats get their cakey texture. But if you want an eggless version, you can substitute the egg with chia seeds!

Frozen berries

If you also love the tart-sweet taste of berries, you can top the batter with frozen berries before baking. According to my friend, she adjusted her baking time and omitted the cocoa powder when she did her mixed berry baked oats.

Tips About Making The Baked Oats TikTok Recipe

This viral baked oats recipe is too easy to make that I can confidently say you’ll get the perfect, puffy, cake-like texture even on the first try. Nonetheless, here are some additional tips for making baked oats at home:

• This easy TikTok baked oats recipe is finished in 25 minutes, but if you have 5 minutes to spare, you can let the batter sit before baking to make extra fluffy baked oats!
• Overbaking leads to dry baked oats, so adjust the time between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your ramekin size. You can insert a toothpick in the center of the baked oats to check if the batter is cooked.
• I personally know some people who prefer this baked oat cake without the banana, so I’ve searched for some tasty substitutes for it. You can use milk or applesauce instead and still achieve the yummy texture on your breakfast cake.

How To Store Baked Oats

This baked oats recipe makes a single serving, but you can adjust the portions to make more. And if you plan to make baked oats in advance, learn these storage tips!

• Fridge: Transfer these TikTok baked oats to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for a week. You can also wrap them up, and they should keep at room temperature for between 1 to 2 days.
• Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze the baked oats for up to 3 months, depending on the flavor.
• Reheating: I just eat refrigerated baked oats cold because I think reheating will make their texture dry.

Are Baked Oats Good For You?

Baked oats are good for you, especially from the numerous health benefits of oats related to the digestive and cardiovascular systems. But of course, the ingredients you should use for your flavor shouldn’t be too high in sugars and calories. (Nothing wrong in enjoying chocolate baked oats in moderation! 😉)

Do You Have To Put Egg In Baked Oats?

The egg helps the baked oats achieve a mouthwatering, fluffy cake texture. However, you can substitute it with chia or flax seeds (flax eggs) for a vegan version.
