Tips and Notes for Making This 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. However, don’t put too much in as it’ll change the taste of the baked oatmeals.
Be sure to use a high speed blender for this Tik Tok 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 the 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.
