TikTok Baked Oats

TikTok Baked Oats are a viral sensation — blend up oats with a few other ingredients and bake it into a cake-like breakfast full of good-for-you ingredients! Today we’re sharing four different versions of TikTok Oats — a plain version (jazzed up with fresh berries!), double chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate chip cookie.

For regular baked oats (where the oats aren’t blended up first) try our original Baked Oatmeal or Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal.

TikTok Baked Oats

Just to be sure we’re all on the same page, TikTok is a social media platform that only shows videos. People love to see a Tiktok video and try to copy it or add their own flare to it.

When I first saw baked oats on TikTok, I was instantly intrigued and had to give them a try. To be honest, I wasn’t impressed with the flavor or texture — the oats were pretty gooey, too dense, and fairly flavorless.

But the idea of it still had me intrigued and after a few weeks of tweaking and testing, I’m excited to share a version that is still just as nutritious, but with a wonderful flavor and texture.

And with all that testing, I’ve come up with four flavors — all of which we’ve been heavily rotating at my home. My personal favorite? Double-chocolate!

[/quicktip] Most versions of TikTok Baked Oats start with an overripe banana, but we created these baked oats without banana. We found the texture to be better and the flavor more cake-like without that addition. [/quicktip]

Tools Needed

• This recipe is quick and easy to make, but you do need a good, powerful blender (think Blendtec® or Vitamix®) to break down the cashews and oats into a smooth mixture. We love this mini “Twister” jar for this recipe since there isn’t a whole lot of batter!
• 8-ounce ramekins are a must-have for this recipe. Unfortunately, these TikTok Baked Oats won’t bake up the same in different-sized ramekins.

What Do Baked Oats Taste Like?

These particular baked breakfast oats honestly taste like a healthy cake! The texture is a little more dense and moist than your typical sugar-and-butter-laden cake (cough, cough oh hey chocolate cake).

The chocolate version of these Tiktok Baked Oats especially feels like you’re eating a rich chocolate dessert for breakfast!

Are Baked Oats Good For You?

These TikTok Baked Oats are first and foremost delicious but they’re also made with very nutritious ingredients.

Check out all these benefits:

• No flour: We use whole old-fashioned oats instead. (Yes, these baked oats are naturally gluten-free.*)
• No butter: Instead, we’re using nutrient-dense coconut oil.
• No refined sugar: Really, there is none! We’re sweetening this cake with pure maple syrup — a natural sweetener made from the sap of trees.
• Cashews: They’re the “secret” ingredient in TikTok Baked Oats! Cashews are loaded with good-for-you fats, protein, and nutrients, among other benefits.
• Protein: Thanks to the nuts and eggs, this recipe is packed with protein!
• Dairy-Free: Again, no butter. Also, no milk or heavy cream.

*While the ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten free, make sure to check all your ingredient labels to be sure they weren’t processed in a facility with gluten.

Tiktok Baked Oats Ingredients

Below are a few ingredient-specific notes:

• Cashews. We love dry-roasted and lightly salted cashews best — more flavor without any extra effort on your part. (Here’s what we use in Baked TikTok Oats.)
• Old-fashioned oats. Although it would make sense that any oats would work since they’re getting blended anyways, it’s important to use old-fashioned oats to ensure you get the right measurement. Both quick and steel-cut oats are smaller, denser, and more compact so measurements would be off.
• Pure maple syrup is a natural sweetener (unlike corn syrup or pancake syrup) made from the sap of a maple tree that is boiled down to a thicker consistency. Maple syrup is just one ingredient and all-natural — the best way to sweeten these TikTok Baked Oats and add the perfect amount of moisture.
• Dutch-process cocoa powder (in the chocolate oats) produces softer and moister baked oats. Regular cocoa powder will create a less-flavorful and drier texture. Hershey’s® “Special Dark” cocoa powder is a Dutch-process cocoa powder that is delicious in these cookies and is readily found at most grocery stores.

• Plain Version: In a blender, combine all ingredients in order and blend until smooth, about 90–120 seconds. There shouldn’t be any chunks of oats or nuts. Blend again if needed. Use a 1/3 measuring cup to divide the batter evenly into prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on a sheet pan and bake 20–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: This recipe is quick and easy, but you’ll need a powerful blender like Blendtec® or Vitamix® to break down the cashews and oats into a smooth mixture. The mini “Twister” jar is ideal, as it handles smaller quantities better than a larger jar.

Note 2: 8-ounce ramekins are essential for this recipe. Using different-sized ramekins will affect the outcome.

Note 3: Topping ideas for the Plain Version: fresh berries, chia seeds, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Note 4: Topping ideas for Chocolate-Chip Version: additional chocolate chips and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Note 5: For the baked oats recipe for one, bake only one cake at a time. Transfer remaining batter to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 5–7 days. Stir the stored batter before adding it to ramekins.

Nutrition Note: Nutrition information isn’t included, since it will vary by the variety of cake made.

Storage: These TikTok Baked Oats don’t store very well (they get too moist and dense). However, the unbaked batter stores nicely in the fridge for 5–7 days. Give the leftover stored batter a quick stir before adding to ramekins and baking.
