Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small ramekin or baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Banana and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add in the egg, milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all wet ingredients are combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the rolled oats and baking powder gently, mixing until the batter is evenly incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips last to distribute them evenly without overmixing.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for an appealing finish.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the baked oats cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a splash of milk or yogurt for added creaminess.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Make sure the banana is ripe for natural sweetness and proper moisture.
  • Use dark chocolate chips for an extra rich flavor and less sugar.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg or chia egg.
