Ingredients
Oat Base
- 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
- ⅓ cup frozen blueberries or fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare it for baking the oat mixture evenly.
- Blend oat batter: Combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ripe banana, baking powder, chai spice (or ground cinnamon), and maple syrup in a high-speed blender. Blend for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and the oats are broken down, forming a thick batter.
- Prepare ramekins: Divide the blended oat batter evenly between two 10-ounce ramekins or small baking dishes. Ensure the batter is spread out evenly for uniform baking.
- Add blueberries: Top each ramekin with the frozen or fresh blueberries, gently pressing them into the batter if desired for better integration during baking.
- Bake: Place the ramekins on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake the oat mixture for 30 minutes until the texture becomes cake-like and the edges slightly rise and brown.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven carefully and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk as preferred.
- Chai spice can be replaced with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, add extra maple syrup or drizzle honey on top after baking.
- Ramekins are suggested for portion control and presentation, but you can use one larger baking dish if desired, adjusting baking time accordingly.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.
