How to Make TikTok Baked Oats
Ingredients:
Use cooking spray, butter or coconut oil along the entire depth of the baking pan so your oats do not stick.
Blend all of your wet ingredients and dry ingredients (minus the toppings) in a food processor or blender until everything is smooth.
Pour your oatmeal mixture into your greased cake dish.
Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
Bake at 350 for a bake time of 20-25 min, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
To cut your viral oatmeal bake into bars, line the baking dish with parchment paper to easily lift from the dish out to cut. An 8×8 square baking dish is the max size baking dish to use, unless you double the recipe. This recipe serves 1-2 people.
Store in an airtight container.
Flavor Variations to Try
- Mix in fresh or frozen berries before baking. Top with a sprinkle of granola for extra crunch.
- Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter and stir in chocolate chips. Top with a drizzle of melted chocolate.
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter and top with banana slices and a drizzle of honey for a banana bread like flavor.
- Mix in shredded coconut and pineapple chunks for a taste of the tropics.
Tips for Perfect Baked Oats
- Use ripe bananas, as they add natural sweetness and moisture to your oats.
- Be sure to blend well to ensure your batter is smooth for a cake-like texture.
- Don’t overbake. Keep an eye on your oats to prevent them from drying out. They should be set but still moist.
- To reheat baked oatmeal, simply microwave a portion for 30 second intervals until heated through.
