Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup (92g) rolled oats
  • 1 medium overripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp (15g) melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 Tbsp real maple syrup (or 2 Tbsp for sweeter option)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (or other flavoring of choice)

Optional Mix-ins

  • Fresh or frozen berries
  • Chopped nuts
  • Chocolate chips
  • Dried fruits

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray two 10-ounce or 12-ounce ramekins with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Blender: In a high-speed blender, add almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, rolled oats, banana, egg, melted butter, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon or your chosen flavoring. This ensures a smooth and even batter.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Cover the blender and blend on high speed for about 10 to 15 seconds, until the oats are finely ground and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Divide Batter and Add Mix-ins: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins. Quickly stir in any desired mix-ins such as berries, nuts, or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
  5. Bake the Oats: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven. Bake for 23 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and shape of your ramekins—wider ramekins bake faster, while taller ones may need closer to 30 minutes. The oats are done when the top center is cooked through and set.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oats to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, perfect for a comforting breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Use ripe or overripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity based on desired sweetness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute egg with flaxseed egg and use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Mix-ins can be tailored to your preference but avoid adding too many to maintain baking consistency.
  • Ramekin size and shape affects baking time; monitor closely toward the end of baking.
