How to Make Chocolate PB Banana 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. 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 and creamy peanut butter on top or your favorite topping.
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 PB 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.
- I recommend using a Dutch processed cocoa powder as it is darker and fudgier. My go-to brand is Ghirardelli.
FAQs
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.
You can quickly reheat baked oats in the microwave for a minute.
You can definitely add a tablespoon of protein powder to your baked oats batter (vanilla goes well with this).
Add whatever you wish to these baked oats! You can add some fruit to these baked oats before or after baking to change things up. You can even put banana slices on top before baking for extra fruit.
You can swap the egg for a flax egg or just skip the egg completely!
Did you know you can bake at 300F bananas to ripen them? The skin will turn black but the banana will ripen. This method is great when you need something for baked goods since the banana will be soft and perfect for mashing.
You can use almond butter, cashew butter, or whatever nut butter you have on hand as a way to change things up!

Yes the calories will change but not too much.
