TikTok Baked Oats - 6 Ways (Easy Recipe)

Even if you’re not on TikTok, I’m sure you’ve seen these unbelievable baked oatmeal breakfasts, right? No? Let me fill you in!

TikTok baked oatmeal is a blend of oats, baking powder, salt, milk (any milk you choose), honey or maple syrup, and usually banana.

This gets blended until it’s thick and smooth and then baked, sometimes with chocolate chips or fruit, until it’s like a warm, thick, cookie.

Sounds too good to be true? Trust me, it’s as delicious as it sounds.

Why Baked Oatmeal and Not Just Flour?

Generally speaking, oat flour is healthier than plain white flour. It uses the whole oat so it’s full of all kinds of nutrients, such as protein, calcium, iron, potassium, thiamin, and riboflavin.

Though the calorie content is much the same, oat flour has a lot more to offer. 

Another pro of using oat flour is that it’s almost gluten-free. 

As you know, white flour contains gluten, which is why some people with intolerances cannot eat food made with it. Although oats don’t contain gluten in the same way, they do contain avenin, a gluten protein.

This protein is not strong enough to affect most people with intolerances, but if you have severe Coeliac disease, even oats can be difficult to process. 

How To Make TikTok Baked Oatmeal

As I mentioned above, you’ll need a few pantry staples to get this started. These include:

• Oats - obviously oats are the key to this. Be sure to get rolled or quick oats, not instant oats as they contain all kinds of sugar and preservatives.
• Milk - if you want this to be vegan-friendly, use your favorite dairy-free milk. I used regular milk in one and almond milk in the other and I couldn’t tell there was a difference. 
• Eggs - eggs act as a binder and a moist-maker. They also help your cakes and baked goods to rise. Though, if you’re wanting it to be vegan, you can swap them out with flax seeds or add another half a banana. 
• Banana - most recipes for baked oats contain bananas. They add sweetness, moisture, flavor, and great texture.
• Sweetener - rather than adding sugar to the mix, you’ll want either honey or maple syrup.
• Baking powder - to help it rise.
• Salt - as with most baked goods, you need salt to balance out the flavors. 

Method:

To make baked oatmeal, just throw everything into a blender and run it until everything is thick and smooth.

I like to chop the banana up to help it incorporate better.

Pour the mixture into a ramekin or greased baking dish and bake at 180°C/350°F for 20-30 minutes.

Note: Each of the recipes listed below are for individual portions.

You’ll notice that most of these are definitely NOT for one. A lot of the time when I bake, I have to feed a crowd, so most of these are double, or even tripled.

But rest assured, the individual amounts are just right.
