Main 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
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Blend oats: Add the oats to a blender and pulse until they become very fine, reaching a flour-like consistency.
- Add wet ingredients: Into the blender with oat flour, add the banana, egg, almond milk, maple syrup, and baking powder. Blend on high for about one minute until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Divide batter: Evenly divide the blended oat batter between the two prepared ramekins.
- Incorporate peanut butter and chocolate chips: Add 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter to each ramekin and gently mix to combine. Then stir in most of the chocolate chips, saving some to sprinkle on top.
- Bake: Place the ramekins in the center of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats rise and become springy to the touch. Take care not to overbake to avoid dryness.
- Drizzle and serve: Once baked, drizzle the extra peanut butter over the warm oats. Serve immediately to enjoy the gooey texture and melty chocolate.
Notes
- You can substitute the banana with 1/2 cup of applesauce for a different but still moist baked oat.
- The egg provides structure; if you want a vegan version, try flax egg as a substitute.
- Use almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice for a dairy-free option.
- Be careful not to overbake the oats to maintain a soft and moist texture.
- Extra peanut butter drizzled on top adds richness and enhances the peanut flavor.
