The video from vegan food TikTok creator, \"Natures Food,\" which racked up over 1.3 million likes, showed a bowl of fresh pomegranate arils, blueberries and blackberries, topped with fresh coconut water. Some users shared their renditions, adding ice cubes to give the fruit a flash freeze and make it crunchy like cereal.

Sure, some recipes were hit or miss and there are always those critical of over-hyped viral recipes, but this blended and baked oat breakfast staple turned snack cake-style treat was a hit with millions on the platform.
This recipe gives off the mature older cousin vibes from the early aughts microwave mug cake, that now actually measures ingredients, uses an oven and owns at least one set of ramekins.
All things air fryer
There were an array of recipes that utilized the swirling convection heat of an air fryer. This countertop appliance that exploded in popularity and delivers a quick-and-easy crisp without the fear of frying in a vat of scalding oil had cooks testing the technique on everything from Jaymee Sire's bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers to chocolate chip cookies.
Birria ramen
The consommé-like Mexican soup that's made from a combo of chili-braised meat with aromatics and spices made another appearance in this cross-cultural hybrid dish that swaps out a traditionally meat and cheese stuffed tortilla that's dunked in the broth with noodles.
