Ingredients
Scale
Oats Mixture
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chai spice (or ground cinnamon)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Topping
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries (or fresh blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the oats evenly and achieve a perfect texture.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ripe banana, baking powder, chai spice, and maple syrup. Blend for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is fully combined and the oats are broken down into a smooth batter.
- Divide and Top: Pour the oat batter evenly into two 10-ounce ramekins or small baking dishes. Then, sprinkle the blueberries on top of the batter in each dish.
- Bake: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the baked oats are set and lightly golden on top.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if desired.
- Using ripe bananas adds natural sweetness; choose bananas with brown spots for best flavor.
- Feel free to use fresh blueberries instead of frozen; just adjust the topping quantity slightly.
- For a nuttier flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
- This recipe is easily doubled for more servings using larger baking dishes.
