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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small ramekin or baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until it becomes smooth, acting as a natural sweetener and binder.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana, stirring until the mixture is uniformly combined and smooth.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Fold in the rolled oats and baking powder, mixing gently but thoroughly to distribute all dry ingredients evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Stir in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for bursts of chocolate flavor.
  6. Prepare to Bake: Pour the batter into the greased ramekin and smooth the surface with a spoon or spatula.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for a visually appealing finish and extra chocolatey goodness.
  8. Bake: Place the ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the baked oats cool for 5 minutes before enjoying warm. Serve with a splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk.
  • Rolled oats give a nice texture, but you can also use quick oats for a softer consistency.
  • Adding a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder can enhance the flavor profile if desired.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat before serving.
