Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small ramekin or baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth to provide natural sweetness and moisture to the batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and the batter is smooth.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Fold in the rolled oats and baking powder into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. This will help provide the perfect texture and rise.
  5. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips to infuse delightful bursts of chocolate throughout the baked oats.
  6. Transfer to Ramekin: Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin, smoothing the top evenly for uniform baking. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for an attractive finish.
  7. Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs, indicating a fudgy, soft center.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with a splash of milk or yogurt for a creamy touch and extra indulgence.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk.
  • Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for additional crunch and nutrition.
  • Make sure the banana is ripe for optimal sweetness and moisture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and gently reheated in the microwave.
