Last year was the year TikTok exploded. With TikTok came food trends to try like baked oatmeal. So I’m sharing my version, Quick + Easy Chocolate Coconut Baked Oatmeal. Before we dive in, I must confess, if there’s one food trend I was making & devouring before social media – it was avocado toast. Us California kids grew up eating avocado toast! Anyway, if you haven’t jumped on the baked oatmeal trend I highly suggest you give it a try!
Those who know me or have been around for a while know – I LOVE OATS! Overnight oats, muffins, cookies, pancakes, baked oats, smoothies, etc. AND I love adding collagen to baked goods! By now I think it’s safe to assume we’ve all heard of collagen. And we all know BUBS Naturals is my preferred choice. Plus, code TIARA20 snags you a sweet discount!
Oats are a great way to get in a nutrient-dense meal. If you’re “bulking/building” it’s the perfect side to your egg scramble! Or if you’re just looking for something to fuel your mornings — This is it! It’s something that you can easily meal prep too!
What are some benefits of incorperating oats into your daily diet?
- Incredibly Nutritious: They are a good source of carbs and fiber.
- Whole oats are high in antioxidants.
- Oats are high in the soluble fiber, which has numerous benefits. It helps reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promotes healthy gut bacteria and increases feelings of fullness.
- Due to the soluble fiber, oats may improve insulin sensitivity and help lower blood sugar levels.
- Oats may lower the risk of heart disease.
What are the benefits of collagen?
- Encourages digestive/gut health

It’s safe to say that oats and collagen make a dynamic duo! Are you ready?
