Why This TikTok Baked Oats Recipe Works

To begin with, blending oats into flour ensures a light, airy texture like a cupcake. Additionally, a ripe banana adds natural sweetness and moisture without refined sugars. Since it’s baked in ramekins, the recipe offers perfect portion control and a cafe-style feel. Finally, the high fiber content keeps you full and energized. Consequently, it is the perfect choice for a wholesome meal that tastes like a celebratory indulgence.

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
1/2 ripe banana
1/4 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

Step by Step Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease an oven-safe ramekin. Next, place the oats, banana, milk, egg, maple syrup, baking powder, and salt into a blender. Process for thirty seconds until smooth. Afterward, pour the batter into the ramekin and stir in half the chocolate chips. Sprinkle the remaining chips on top for a melty finish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the center is set and the top has risen. Lastly, let the oats cool for a few minutes before eating while warm.

Pro Tips for TikTok Baked Oats Recipe

Use a very spotty, overripe banana to get the best natural sweetness and the softest texture in your finished bake. If you want a molten center, try pushing a square of dark chocolate or a teaspoon of peanut butter into the middle of the batter before baking. Additionally, make sure your blender is powerful enough to turn the oats into a fine powder to avoid a grainy mouthfeel.

Storage Instructions

You should ideally enjoy these baked oats fresh from the oven to experience the best “cake” texture and warmth. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to two days in an airtight container. When you are ready to eat, simply reheat them in the microwave for thirty seconds to restore some of that original fluffiness. If you are meal prepping, you can blend the dry and wet ingredients separately and mix them just before you are ready to bake.

FAQ

Can I make this in the air fryer? Absolutely, you can air fry the ramekin at 320°F for about 12 to 15 minutes for a quicker result.
Can I use steel-cut oats? It is better to stick with rolled or quick oats because steel-cut oats do not blend into a fine enough flour for this specific texture.
