Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 egg
- 1 very ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the oat mixture evenly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add rolled oats, almond milk, egg, ripe banana, baking powder, cocoa powder, honey, and kosher salt.
- Blend Mixture: Blend the ingredients for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the oats break down and the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the blended oat mixture evenly into two ramekins or similar oven-safe containers.
- Add Chocolate Chunks: Sprinkle the top of each ramekin with dark chocolate chunks or chips for melty pockets of chocolate.
- Bake: Place the ramekins in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the oats set and the tops become firm and slightly risen.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
- Using a very ripe banana enhances natural sweetness and moisture in the baked oats.
- Ensure the ramekins are oven-safe and about 6-8 oz capacity each for even baking.
- For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia egg.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra texture if desired.
