Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats (either rolled or quick oats)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1 banana (or 1/2 cup applesauce)
- 1 egg (or vegan egg substitute)
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (plus extra for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare ramekins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Grind oats into flour: Add the oats to a blender and pulse until the oats are ground very fine and resemble flour to ensure a smooth batter.
- Add wet ingredients and blend: To the blender, add the banana, egg, almond milk, maple syrup, and baking powder. Blend on high for about one minute until all ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Divide batter: Evenly divide the blended mixture between the two prepared ramekins.
- Add peanut butter and chocolate chips: Spoon 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into each ramekin and mix gently to incorporate. Stir in most of the chocolate chips, then scatter the remaining chips on top for extra melty goodness.
- Bake the oats: Place the ramekins in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the oats have risen and feel springy when lightly pressed. Avoid overbaking to keep the oats moist.
- Drizzle peanut butter and serve: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle extra peanut butter over the warm baked oats. Serve right away for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the banana with 1/2 cup applesauce for a different flavor or to reduce banana taste.
- Egg can be replaced with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water) for a vegan option.
- Use maple syrup or honey based on dietary preferences; honey is not vegan.
- Ensure not to overbake to maintain moist and fluffy baked oats.
