- What if I told you, you can have cake for breakfast
that's made with healthy ingredients
and 13 grams of protein?
That's what this latest TikTok trend is all about.
Hey everyone, I'm Yumna AKA FeelGoodFoodie
and I'm here for this TikTok trend.
I'm actually here for all of 'em.
When I first saw #bakedoats trending on TikTok,
I figured it was just baked oatmeal,
but this is not your average baked oatmeal,
this is all blended to look and taste like cake,
and it's all done in a blender for fine and airy texture.
I've tested multiple versions of the recipe
and I'm gonna share with you two flavors
and two methods for making the recipe.
Breakfast is pretty much sorted from here on out.
So let's get started.
We're gonna use a small blender to make the recipe.
We'll start with half a cup of oats.
You can use rolled oats, old fashioned oats, or quick oats.
Don't use steel-cut oats
because the texture is just not the same
and it needs way more time to cook.
Next, we're gonna add some baking powder.
I'm just using half a teaspoon,
and this really helps it to rise
when it's baking in the oven.
Next we'll add some salt.
You just need a pinch of salt
and it really helps to round out the flavor of the oats
since the oats can be kinda bland on their own.
And now it's time for the wet ingredients.
You can use an egg, milk, or banana
or any combination of those three.
Today, I'm gonna use one egg and a fourth of a cup of milk,
and then a touch of sweetness with some maple syrup.
You can also add some vanilla extract
to kind of combat the taste of the egg,
but I think maple syrup works really well.
Now, if you wanted to, you can start with oat flour
instead of rolled oats,
and basically, rolled oats blended in a blender
makes oat flour.
So if you do it that way,
you could just mix everything with a bowl and a whisk
and not use a blender altogether.
But since we're just starting with rolled oats,
we're gonna use a blender.
And I recommend using a high-speed blender if possible
and using a small one
just because it's a very small quantity of ingredients.
So, I'm going to just put it in here, flip it over,
and I think the high-speed blender
makes all the difference in these baked oats
because what's gonna happen is,
it's really going to make it like a cake-like texture
and not the rolled oats texture that we're used to.
And that is pretty much it.
Now it's time to transfer it to an oven safe dish
so we can bake it.
I like to use these little ramekins.
They're about six ounces of fluid space inside of them
and they work perfectly for this recipe.
If you wanted to, you can use muffin tins,
you can use any other kinda baking dish you have.
You can also double or triple the recipe
and actually make it into a muffin recipe
with 12 equal muffins.
And be sure to spray the ramekin
just so it makes it easier to release the cake.
And yes, it's cake, wait till you see the consistency.
All right, so it's all blended.
(pop)
Ooh.
And we're gonna go ahead and transfer it
right into the ramekin.
And this is just a plain vanilla cake at this point.
I like to add a little bit of white chocolate to it
and it just makes it so yummy when it's all cooked.
And now pop it in the oven at 350 degrees
for 20 to 25 minutes.
Okay, for the second version,
we're gonna do a chocolate baked oats
and this time we're gonna microwave it.
So, same drill, very similar ingredients.
We're gonna do half a cup of oats, baking powder, salt,
a tablespoon of cocoa powder, an egg, milk,
and maple syrup.
Close it up and give it a whirl.
Now we're gonna grease the ramekin again
and pour that batter into the ramekin.
And this one is gonna go in the microwave
for 90 seconds to start
and we'll test it at that point.
(grunts)
(laughing)
I can't open it!
And now we're gonna transfer it to a greased ramekin.
We'll bake this in the microwave for 90 seconds.
Check on it at 90 seconds.
And then if it needs more time,
you can add an additional 30 seconds.
My microwave usually takes about two minutes
so that's what I've been using for this recipe.
But before we do that,
we're gonna add some chocolate chunks on top.
All right, this is the oven baked version,
this is the microwave version.
They both look so good
and they literally look like cake, you guys.
So when it comes out, you're ready to eat it
and it's just as easy as that.
Because we're calling it cake,
I like to add a little bit of frosting on top.
This is just some powdered sugar and milk
that I mixed together, so I like to add that on top.
You can also do some peanut butter
or you can also just do like peanut butter
mixed with Greek yogurt,
there's lots of different ways to top it.
For the chocolate version,
I also did powdered sugar, little bit of milk,
and also cocoa powder
so you kinda get like a nice, simple chocolate icing.
And now you can see why everyone
is obsessed with this recipe.
These baked oats look just like cake,
they taste just like cake, and they're so easy to make,
all you really need is oats
and any kinda liquid ingredients,
blend it all up together, bake or microwave
and you've got a perfect breakfast treat.
All right, now it's time for the taste test.
So we've got vanilla and chocolate.
Let's see what Video Matt wants to try.
All right, he's up for the chocolate one.
All right, let's see.
It's a little bit hot from being in the microwave
so I'm gonna hand it to him like this, here you go.
Awesome, he likes it.
I had a feeling he was gonna like it.
This is such a good recipe
and we're literally so obsessed with it.
I'm gonna go ahead and dig into the vanilla one,
and I wanna show you guys the consistency of this one.
It's just like cake, it has a beautiful airy, soft texture.
It's a perfect treat for the morning,
made so simply without any fancy ingredients.
All right, time for the taste test.
Ooh, it's hot.
It's ready.
Mm.
It's so good.
I love how the vanilla flavor is so simple
yet so rich and decadent
and it's just made with like oats, egg, and milk.
Perfect for breakfast, perfect for a special occasion,
and I'm about to finish all of this, it's so good.
