TikTok Baked Oats Recipe
TikTok baked oats turn everyday oatmeal into a soft, cake-like breakfast by blending oats with milk, eggs, maple syrup and a few simple ingredients before baking.
The result is completely different from a traditional bowl of oatmeal and easy to customize with chocolate chips, fruit, peanut butter or whatever toppings you have on hand.
Baked oats are also great for meal prep. Make a batch, slice it into individual servings and reheat them for an easy breakfast recipe throughout the week.

What Are TikTok Baked Oats?
Baked oats are made by blending oats with milk, eggs, baking powder and other ingredients until the mixture resembles a smooth batter. Once baked, the oats become soft and fluffy with a texture that’s closer to cake than a bowl of oatmeal.
That’s one reason baked oats became so popular on TikTok — you get the convenience and ingredients of oatmeal but in a breakfast that feels more like eating cake.
You can make them plain or add chocolate chips, berries, bananas, nuts, peanut butter or other mix-ins before baking.
Ingredients for TikTok Baked Oats
You only need a handful of basic ingredients:
- Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats work well because they’re blended into the batter. Avoid steel-cut oats.
- Milk: Use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk.
- Eggs: Help bind the ingredients and give the baked oats their fluffy texture.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness without needing granulated sugar.
- Baking powder: Gives the oats some lift so they’re lighter and more cake-like.
- Vanilla and cinnamon: Add warmth and flavor to the oatmeal batter.
- Toppings: Chocolate chips, berries, nuts, sliced bananas or peanut butter are all easy options.
How to Make TikTok Baked Oats
The biggest difference between these and traditional baked oatmeal is blending the ingredients first.
- In a blender, combine all of the ingredients (except the toppings) and blend until smooth. This will give you a creamy batter-like consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness. Add a little more or less maple syrup depending on your toppings and how sweet you like your breakfast.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and top with your favorite toppings. Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Don’t overbake them. Remove the oats once the center is set. Baking too long can make them dry.
Tip: Add toppings before or after baking. Chocolate chips and berries can go into the batter, while yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup and fresh fruit are especially good added after baking.
TikTok Baked Oats Variations
- Chocolate Chip: Stir chocolate chips into the batter and sprinkle a few more over the top before baking.
- Banana Bread: Blend a ripe banana into the oat mixture and add cinnamon and chopped walnuts.
- Apple Cinnamon: Add diced apples and extra cinnamon, then drizzle with maple syrup after baking.
- Berry: Add blueberries, raspberries or strawberries before baking and serve with yogurt.
- Peanut Butter & Jelly: Swirl peanut butter into the batter and add a spoonful of your favorite jam.
Yes. Replace the eggs with flax eggs, applesauce or mashed banana. Keep in mind that changing the eggs may make the finished oats slightly denser.
Yes. Divide the batter between greased muffin cups and bake at 350°F for about 15–20 minutes. Start checking them early since individual portions usually bake faster.
