There is no method no. I believe there is a method to stream the display to PC to capture it there, but it won't be of any decent quality.

I've got a capture card from a Chinese site for like 10 bucks (but they are much cheaper now). Crappy but they work. Much crappier: use a webcam...
Can I ask why?

Because I'm dumb and want a way to record my Wii U without using a webcam or capture card.
Even though it's (apparently) impossible.

DRC-SIM but the hardware needed for that is probably more expensive than a cheap capture card and image quality pretty bad.

There is this https://github.com/Maschell/StreamingPluginWiiU and https://github.com/Maschell/StreamingPluginClient

I got it working with tiramisu but the quality isn't the greatest but not terrible. It's pretty slow though when you increase the resolution to 480p. Probably not very usable for playing games.

It requires this

And if you already have aroma setup you can copy the back end files from there to the tiramisu folders:

It seems to need these files but may not require them all these are just the ones I copied over and it seemed to work:

sd:\wiiu\environments\[insert environment here]\modules\setup\10_wums_loader.rpx
sd:\wiiu\environments\[insert environment here]\modules\PluginBackend.wms
sd:\wiiu\environments\[insert environment here]\modules\ContentRedirectionModule.wms
sd:\wiiu\environments\[insert environment here]\modules\MemoryMappingModule.wms
sd:\wiiu\environments\[insert environment here]\modules\PatchMemoryRelocationsModule.wms

Copy the plugin to sd:\wiiu\plugins

Load the plugin through the homebrew launcher with the wii u plugin loader
Enable the slider and exit
Open the client on the pc and input the wii u IP address.
To change the output resolution it's R dpad down and -
