TikTok breakfast recipes you want to know about:

Magic Shell Smoothie Bowls

The magic shell smoothie bowl trend started on TikTok when Halle Burns (@ballehurns) shared a viral video that’s been viewed over 8 million times. The smoothie bowl is made by creating a thick smoothie and then topping it with a chocolate coconut oil mixture that quickly hardens to create a shell.

What you’ll need:

• 2 cups of your favourite frozen fruit (eg banana, blueberries and strawberry – but you can use whatever fruit you want to make a smoothie with)
• 1/2 cup of almond or oat milk
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons honey or agave

Directions:

1. Melt the coconut oil in a microwave. It usually takes 30 seconds. Set aside.
2. Combine your smoothie ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend for 2 minutes or until combined. Spread the smoothie out in a bowl.
3. Stir together the melted coconut oil, cacao powder, and honey till fully combined. Once you’ve blended your smoothie, you’ll need to work quickly as it will begin melting. So have all your magic shell ingredients out on the counter, measured out before you start blending the smoothie!
4. Pour it over the smoothie and use a spoon to spread it across the top. Let the chocolate harden for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
5. Break the chocolate shell with a spoon and enjoy your smoothie!

Banana Baked Oats

TikTok Baked Oats are just like eating cake for breakfast and people can’t get enough (we wrote about it here). The hashtag #bakedoats has garnered over 322.4 million views and counting. Baked oats are the fluffy, cake-like cousin of your favourite oat-based muffin recipe, with the resulting batter being incredibly airy, smooth, and cloud-like.

What you’ll need:

• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon coconut milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons quinoa flakes or quick oats
• 1/2 banana, mashed
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

1. As the video directs, you add your egg to the bowl, whisk that up and add in each of the remaining elements one by one, mixing as you go along.
2. Pour the mixture into an oven-safe ramekin or dish, and pop into the oven at 200 degrees celsius for 25 minutes.

Pancake wrap

This one is a super simple take on the breakfast wrap hack that went viral a little while back.

Directions:

1. All it asks is that you take a pancake (the pancake in the video is quite thin) and slice it from one edge into the centre.
2. Fill each quarter with goodies. This video suggests Nutella, then strawberries, then Nutella again and lastly, banana slices.
3. Then pick up the Nutella quarter with the slice along the edge and begin folding into a pocket.
