Equipment
- 1 high speed blender
- 1 ramakin
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats, old-fashioned oats, or oat flour
- ½ banana mashed
- ¼ cup milk/plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your microwave to high power and grease an 8-ounce heat-safe ramekin with non-stick cooking spray or neutral oil.
- Blend: In a blender, combine all of the base ingredients (rolled oats, ripe banana, plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and baking powder) and blend until smooth.
- Bake: Pour the blended oat mixture into the prepared ramekin and top with your favorite toppings (such as chocolate chips, berries, nuts, or seeds). Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until the oats are fully cooked.
- Enjoy: Let the oatmeal cool for a few minutes before enjoying it.
Notes
- Make sure to use ripe bananas. Ripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor than unripe bananas.
- Use a high-speed blender to get the smoothest texture possible. The smoother the batter, the fluffier the oats will be.
- Don't overfill the ramekin. The oats will rise as they bake. When filling your ramekin, leave about one inch of extra space. This will give the oats room to rise.
- Storing: Place in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
