Easy and nutritious blended baked oats are the too-good-to-be-true dessert-for-breakfast recipe that’s taking TikTok by storm. A quick mixture of oats, banana, egg, brown sugar, and spices bakes into a perfect cake-like treat you can finish off with all your favorite toppings. Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and full of nutritious ingredients!
What Makes This Recipe So Good
- TikTok has given us a lot of things. Cute baby videos, tons of dance moves, and some really tasty recipes – like the viral baked feta pasta, and the only tortilla hack you’ll ever need. Well, add these baked oats to your “TikTok made me do it” list. They’re super delicious, pretty nutritious, and couldn’t be easier to make!
- You’ve probably had baked oatmeal before. You know, the kind that vaguely resembles oatmeal cookies or a chewy granola bar? These aren’t that. Baked oats are more like cake – fluffy, soft, moist cake that you can 100% eat for breakfast.
- The flavor possibilities are ENDLESS! The baked oat base is pretty neutral, so you can use anything you like as toppings. Bananas, raspberries, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, a streusel topping, more oats… whatever you like!

Key Ingredients
Rolled Oats – These give you the most cake-like texture and blend up better than steel cut oats. Quick oats would also work, though!
Eggs – I haven’t tried it personally, but you can probably make this recipe totally vegan by using flax eggs instead. The end texture may be a little different than if you used traditional eggs, but it should still taste amazing!
Banana – SUCH a great way to use up leftover bananas before they go bad. Don’t have any bananas handy? Use milk instead. The banana makes the baked oats moist and rich, so milk is a great alternative for a similar effect. ½-¾ cup should do the trick, but adjust as needed.
Chef’s Tips
- Need a quick breakfast that doesn’t need to bake for 20 minutes? Blend your ingredients the night before, and then in the morning, pour the oat mixture into a bowl and pop it in the microwave. 1-2 minutes is all you need for perfect microwave baked oats!
- For a fluffier “cake”, blend all the ingredients and then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or so before pouring it into the ramekins. That gives the oats more time to soak up the moisture from the other ingredients.
- Cooking for a group? You can easily double or triple the recipe and bake it in a loaf pan or baking dish rather than ramekins for an easy breakfast “cake”. SO perfect for holidays! Just make sure it’s cooked-through fully, since it has eggs in it, but be careful not to overbake it.

Have you tried substituting applesauce for the banana? That’s usually a more common substitute in my experience.
We didn’t test it that way, no, but it should work just fine! Let us know if you try it!
