Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1 small ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a ramekin to prevent sticking.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the rolled oats, milk, ripe banana, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the blended oats mixture into the prepared ramekin, ensuring an even layer.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the mixture, gently stirring some into the surface if desired for extra gooeyness.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the top is golden and the center is just set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the baked oats cool for a minute to firm up slightly, then serve warm for a cozy treat.
Notes
- You can use any milk of choice such as dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk depending on your preference.
- For a vegan version, ensure the milk and chocolate chips are plant-based.
- The banana adds natural sweetness; for a sweeter outcome, add a little extra maple syrup.
- Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit for variations.
- If you don’t have a blender, mash the banana well and mix all ingredients thoroughly by hand.
- Check baking time after 15 minutes as ovens vary; the oats should be just set and not overly dry.
