- After the batter is blended, add in 2 tsps. of sprinkles and just shake the blender bowl a little to mix the sprinkles with the batter.
- Add the batter to the ramekin: Spray the 8 oz. ramekin with baking spray. Pour in the batter. Sprinkle a little bit more sprinkles on the top if you desire.
- Bake the oat cake: Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Depending on your oven it, may take a little less or a little more. 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.

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 funfetti baked oats rise and keeps it from being dense and heavy.
- 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.
- The maple syrup can be swapped for honey if you’d prefer.
- These baked oats last for 2 to 3 days in the fridge but it’s better to eat it fresh so you enjoy it like you were having hot dessert cake.
- While a lot of baked oats uses bananas, this recipe does not use bananas so it doesn’t alter the flavor of the funfetti cake batter.
FAQs
Even though the texture is like cake and we put sprinkles on top, this baked oatmeal is healthy! At the end of the day, it’s oatmeal! You can skip the chocolate chips if you’d like it to be healthier.
This baked oatmeal is gluten-free since oatmeal is naturally gluten-free, but you always make sure of that by getting certified gluten free oats.
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 swap the egg for a flax egg to make it vegan and use almond, oats or coconut milk instead of whole milk. Be sure to also use vegan butter or substitute the butter with non flavored coconut oil.
