These single serving chocolate baked oats are easy to make – a super healthy breakfast recipe that tastes like dessert!

Popular TikTok Recipe Chocolate Baked Oats

If you’re bored of cereal every day, definitely give these chocolate oats a try.

Packed with rich chocolate and heart-healthy oatmeal, it’s the perfect balance of healthy and delicious, and even hardcore night owls will actually want to get out of bed in the morning for breakfast.

Baked oatmeal cakes are super popular on social media right now; if you’ve spent more than 30 seconds on instagram or tiktok in the past few months, you’ve probably seen them everywhere!

Today’s recipe is a chocolate version of my Single Serving Baked Oatmeal.

You can choose to blend them before baking so the results turn into an oatmeal mug cake, or skip the blending step if you’re in a rush or would prefer some texture to your baked oats.

I baked mine in a 1-cup ramekin because I wanted to ensure the middle would stay undercooked and gooey. If you want the oat cake to be cooked evenly instead, use a wide and shallow baking dish, such as a 7×5 pan, instead of a ramekin.

And if you’re still craving oatmeal, try these Overnight Oats or my Banana Oatmeal.

Recipe Variations

Chocolate Lava Baked Oats: You have two options for the lava filling – either add up to three tablespoons of your favorite seed or nut butter (such as chocolate almond butter), or add a few squares of your favorite chocolate bar.

Protein Baked Oats: Feel free to substitute the cocoa powder in the recipe with chocolate protein powder. Including the optional peanut butter also ups the protein.

Chocolate Coffee Baked Oatmeal: Stir half a teaspoon of instant coffee into the batter. Or replace two tablespoons of the milk of choice with brewed espresso.

More Flavor Ideas: Add a fourth teaspoon of cinnamon or pure vanilla extract, a handful of shredded coconut or some mini chocolate chips, or stir in a few drops of pure peppermint or coconut or almond extract.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup yogurt, or mashed banana, or sweet potato puree
  • 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • optional lava filling (see above)

Instructions

  • *I like the gooey center, but if you want it cooked evenly instead, use a wide and shallow baking dish (such as a 7×5) instead of a ramekin.
    If using an oven, preheat to 350 F. Stir all ingredients, blend if you wish, and pour 2/3 of the mixture into an oven-safe dish. Add the filling if using, then top with remaining mixture. (Watch the step-by-step recipe video above.) Bake 25 minutes, or microwave 1-2 minutes. Add any toppings if desired.

        I did not blend, but I did weigh my old fashioned oats and used 1/2 cup oat milk and 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt. I did microwave for over two minutes but all it did was boil over.
        I just ended up with oatmeal soup lol. Flavor was good and once it cooled a bit it was almost like a reg bowl of oatmeal.
        Next time I’ll try baking it and maybe blend a little.

        • CCK Media Team says

          Hi! If you don’t blend or bake, then yes it’s just going to taste like chocolate oatmeal because it IS chocolate oatmeal ;).

  1. Alex says

    When you say “sweetener of choice,” does that include wet AND dry? Does one come out better than the other?

  2. Alex says

    What about cacao vs cocoa powder? I only have cacao but I think it’s super strong and bittrt. Do you just up the sweetener or decrease the cacao?

  3. Alex says

    If i double the recipe to make two batches, should I also double the cooking time? 50 minutes seems like way too long to cook but I also want it to cook inside

  4. Casey says

    soooooooo yummy! mine ended up being 332 calories because i added a buckeye in the middle and a tbsp of chocolate chips on top! it was so amazing!!!

  5. Abbi says

    Hmm, not bad…but when you could have your warm brownie, & bowl of (cinnamon-raisin-cream-pecan-coconut 😉 oatmeal separately, I would prefer eating my chocolate & oats that way.

    I can’t stand the texture of regular oatmeal so thought I’d try this recipe. I have literally eaten it every single day since I first made it last week. I love that theirs no egg, oil, or banana. Topped with some sugar free choco chips and it is heaven.

    Hi! I make this recipe every single morning. It’s delicious and definitely my favorite breakfast. I just realized I’m out of rolled oats do you think quick oats would work?

      Hi Mary! We are not sure why this is happening to you, because we just clicked on the link you sent to us and it went straight to the pin. Can you clear your browser cache and try again? Or try from a different browser? Please do let us know if that works!

    Very tasty and will definitely make again, but nutrition facts are way off. It says 192 calories, but that isn’t possible. There are 155-165 calories in the oats alone, before adding cocoa (12-20 calories), banana/yogurt (40-60 calories), milk (40-60 calories), and sweetener (0-90 calories).

    • CCK Media Team says

      Hi Sarah, the numbers will vary depending on the specific ingredients you use, but the brands we used gave the numbers listed. For instance, Silk cashewmilk has just 25 calories for an entire cup. Hope that helps clarify!

    I didn’t blend my rolled oats and used 5 tbsp of almond milk instead. I baked it and they turned out amazing!

  12. Sammy says

    I double batched this, thinking as the fool I am that I would split it in a half and have some for breakfast two days in a row. Well lemme tell you, that did not happen! I shoveled this thing down my gullet embarrassingly fast. This is the single best breakfast food I have ever eaten, and I will fight anyone bare-knuckle style who says otherwise.
