Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Optional
- Honey or maple syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or two ramekins with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add rolled oats, ripe banana, almond milk, egg, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and well combined to form a creamy oat batter.
- Assemble: Pour the blended oat mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Evenly sprinkle the blueberries and sliced almonds on top for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the oats are fully set, indicating they are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk according to preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup either before blending or as a topping.
- For a nut-free option, omit the almonds and replace the almond milk with another milk alternative.
- Ensure oats are rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats may alter consistency.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries as per availability, but adjust bake time slightly if frozen.
