Baked oats have gone viral on Tik Tok - people really love them. I wanted to put my own spin on these using the microwave to make them in just a minute or two (usually they take around 20 minutes in a traditional oven). I like to think of them as a cross between oatmeal and cake. They’re delicious, nutritious and and they’re a fun and different way to eat oatmeal. If you love oatmeal, I really recommend you have a go at these!

PRO TIPS
For the best texture, it's best to use commercial oat flour.
If you're making the oat flour yourself, process until very fine. Please note though, the texture won't be as fine as the commercial one.
Mix the ingredients in a large bowl, not a mug; or use a really big mug. This is because the peanut butter and maple syrup stick to the bottom so it's easier to combine everything if using a big bowl.
For the best, most precise results, with the ingredients using grams for this recipe because the amounts of ingredients you’re using are so small.
You want the peanut butter in the recipes to be a loose texture, so microwave it separately for ten seconds if it’s not a loose texture out of the jar.
DO NOT pack the oat flour if using measuring spoons.
