Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chai spice (or ground cinnamon)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Fruit
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries (or fresh blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the oats evenly.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ripe banana, baking powder, chai spice, and maple syrup. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and the oats have broken down thoroughly.
- Prepare Baking Dishes: Divide the oat batter equally between two 10-ounce ramekins or small baking dishes. Evenly distribute the batter for uniform cooking.
- Add Blueberries: Top the oat mixture in each ramekin with the frozen or fresh blueberries, gently pressing them slightly into the batter for a nice distribution.
- Bake Oats: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until the oats are set, golden on top, and cooked through.
Notes
- You can substitute the almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as dairy milk or oat milk.
- Use fresh blueberries if available, but frozen work perfectly and can be added straight from the freezer.
- Chai spice can be replaced with ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for similar warm flavor.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for more servings; just ensure your baking dishes are appropriately sized.
- For a vegan version, confirm your maple syrup is pure and use plant-based milk as directed.
