Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to a 350°F oven. Grease an 8 ounce ramekin with cooking spray.
- Add all of the ingredient to a blender and blend until smooth and combined, about 1 minute.
- Add the batter to the ramekin. Top with a few chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Quadruple the recipe if you want to make in a 13x9 baking dish.
- You can adjust the sweetness level by adding or taking away maple syrup in tablespoon increments.
- Experiment with additional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or shredded coconut to add extra texture and flavor to your baked oats.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the mixture for a subtle and aromatic flavor twist.
