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.
