Ingredients

• 1 cup oats (rolled or quick oats)
• 1 banana (or 1/2 cup applesauce)
• 1 egg (see notes)
• 1/2 cup almond milk (see notes)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (plus extra for drizzling)
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-ounce ramekins with butter or spray cooking oil to prevent sticking.
2. Step 2: Place the oats in a blender and pulse until they become very fine and resemble flour.
3. Step 3: Add the banana, egg, almond milk, maple syrup, and baking powder to the blender. Blend on high for about one minute until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins.
5. Step 5: Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to each ramekin, stirring it gently into the batter. Mix in most of the chocolate chips, then sprinkle the remaining chips on top.
6. Step 6: Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats have risen and feel springy when touched. Avoid overbaking to keep the oats moist.
7. Step 7: Once baked, drizzle extra peanut butter over the warm oats for added richness.
8. Step 8: Serve immediately and enjoy a comforting, delicious breakfast.

Tips & Variations

• Try swapping peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the aroma.
• Use dark or white chocolate chips for a twist on sweetness.

FAQs

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?

Steel-cut oats are too coarse and won’t blend smoothly in this recipe, so it’s best to stick with rolled or quick oats for the right texture.

Is it possible to make this recipe nut-free?

Yes, simply omit the peanut butter and use sunflower seed butter or another seed butter as a safe alternative.

• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (plus extra for drizzling)

Instructions
