    Baked oats are one of tiktok's favourite breakfasts, and for good reason. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, its basically an oat flour-based cake and is the best breakfast idea since sliced bread (literally). My homemade chocolate chip baked oats are no exception.

    • Naturally gluten-free
    • Packed with fibre and protein

    How to make chocolate chip baked oats

    Blend the oats into a fine powder (this is oat flour). Add to a bowl along with the baking powder (photo 1). Mix in the wet ingredients to form a batter (photo 2) then pour into a greased ramekin and top with chocolate chips or chunks (photo 3).

    Then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and delicious!

    Notes on this recipe

    • For a vegan-friendly option, substitute one ripe banana for the 2 eggs, and omit the dates to avoid it becoming too sweet
    • If your dates are too hard, soak them in hot water for a few minutes to soften them up.
    • If you wish, add in a small handful of chopped walnuts or almonds before baking.

    FAQ

    Can I use any chocolate in this recipe?

    Of course! Dark, milk or white chocolate all work well. You can use chips or chunks - whatever you fancy. Or a combination!

    How do I make double chocolate oatmeal?

    Replace 1 tablespoon of the oats with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and follow the rest of the recipe as usual.

    Can I add protein powder?

    You can! Make sure you use a protein powder with an appropriate flavour. Add ½ a scoop of your favourite protein powder per serving and add additional milk as needed to avoid the baked oats becoming dry.
