Ingredients for Baked Oats
- Old fashion rolled oats-or substitute with quick oats
- Banana — make sure it’s ripe!
- Maple syrup — this can be adjusted for how sweet you’d like your baked oats to be.
- Baking powder-helps the batter to rise
- Egg — no need to worry about having it chilled or room temperature.
- Vanilla extract-pure vanilla preferred
- Milk-I used whole but you can use almond if you want to make it dairy free.
- Semi sweet chocolate chips or chunks– I used semi-sweet to balance the sweetness.
- Dash of salt
How to Make Baked Oats
- Prepare the oven: Preheat oven to 350 F. Place rack in the middle of your oven.
- Blend up the ingredients: In a blender, blend all the ingredients together, except for the chocolate chunks, until nice and smooth.
- Add the batter to the ramekin: Spray the ramekin with baking spray. Pour in the batter and top with chocolate chunks. NOTE: You can also push some of the chunks of chocolate in the batter if you want them incorporated inside the dough as well.
- Bake the oat cake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Depending on your oven it, may take a little less or a little more. So just check for doneness at around 20 minutes. The dough should not be jiggly in any way, but you also do not want to over cook.
- Cool and enjoy: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle some melted chocolate on top or your favorite topping.
Tips to Make Baked Oats Recipe
- This is a baked oats recipe with milk. You can swap the milk for any type of milk such as almond milk.
- Don’t skip the baking powder as it helps the chocolate chip banana baked oats rise and keeps it from being dense and heavy.
- Be sure to use a high speed blender for this TikTok baked oats recipe. You want the ingredients to be well blended. A smaller blender might be helpful in this recipe so the blade gets all of the ingredients.
- Due to the batter’s thickness, you’ll have to stir in the chocolate chips if you want it mixed inside of the dough. If you don’t the chocolate chips will just stay near the top of the batter.
- The maple syrup can be swapped for honey if you’d prefer.
- These baked oats last for 2 to 3 days in the fridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Even though the texture is like cake and we put chocolates on top, this baked oatmeal is healthy! At the end of the day, it’s oatmeal! And oatmeal is a healthy way to start the day off.
This baked oatmeal is gluten-free since oatmeal is naturally gluten-free.
I use 8oz ramekins. If you do not have an 8oz ramekin, you can use two smaller ones. Just check on your oats easier as the bake time will change with a smaller ramekin.
No, do not use steel cut oats. The baked oats blend up rolled oats which essentially has it acting as oat flour. Steel cut oats will not give you the same effect.

The center was pure liquid, even after cooking for 27 minutes in a pre-heated, 350-degree oven. The top had begun to brown. What am I doing wrong?
Did you use quick oats?
Yummy! A great after dinner treat

Hi, there is no milk in the actual description of the recipe. Is this supposed to be with or without milk? I followed the recipe and baked without milk and it turned out pretty great with a very cakey texture that I prefer.
Hi Priya,
If it’s not there, then no. The banana acts as a moisture base for the cake. Glad you enjoyed it! I am about to have some my self this morning.
