The chocolate chip banana bread version of the TikTok baked oats trend. Easy breakfast made of rolled oats, banana, and chocolate chips. It has the texture and taste of a cake. It is easy, healthy, fluffy, and airy.
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven (conventional) to 175℃ / 350 °F. Grease a ramekin or oven-safe pan.
Add all the ingredients into the blender / Nutribullet. Except the chocolate chips.
40 gram rolled oats, ½ ripe banana, 50 ml almond milk, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon powder, 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup, 1 egg, 1 pinch salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Blend everything together until everything is smooth and pourable.
Divide the mixture over to ramekins. Add extra toppings and/or mix-ins. I added some extra chocolate chips and pieces of banana. But you can add any topping, like nuts, fruits, lime juice, white chocolate, and funfetti.
2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
Bake it in the middle of a preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Check the doneness of the baked oats with a wooden tooth stick. Insert a wooden toothpick near the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the baked oats are done.
Optional - Melt some chocolate in a microwave bowl and add it on top of the baked oats. Decorate with some extra banana slices. Enjoy your banana bread baked oats!

Notes
Don't overbake - just like cakes, baked oats, will dry out if you bake them for too long in the oven.
Toothpick test - check the doneness of the baked oats with a toothpick. Just like with a cake, you can check whether the baked oats are ready by pricking them with a skewer. When nothing sticks to it, it is done.
Overripe bananas – use overripe bananas, they are the best for baking. They taste sweeter than regular bananas.
Storage - you can store baked oats out of the fridge in an airtight container for up to two days and in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
