Ingredients:
- Rolled Oats: This forms the base of the recipe. You can substitute with quick oats or oat flour.
- Egg: Acts as a binder. For a vegan version, substitute with a flax egg or ¼ cup of plant-based milk.
- Banana: Adds natural sweetness and moisture. You can also replace the banana with another egg or ¼ cup of milk.
- Maple Syrup: Adds a hint of sweetness, though you can adjust based on your preference.
- Baking Powder: Helps the oats rise and become cake-like.
- Salt: Enhances the overall flavor.
- Cocoa Powder (Optional): For a chocolatey version of baked oats, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.
Optional Toppings:
- Shaved chocolate or chocolate chips
- Fresh berries
- Nuts
- White chocolate shavings
Steps:
1. Blend the Ingredients
Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and pourable. You might need to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a ramekin, oven-safe bowl, or small baking pan. Pour the blended oat mixture into the prepared dish. Add your choice of toppings if desired.
3. Bake
Bake at 180°C/350°F for 15-20 minutes or until the edges pull away from the sides of the dish and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For a chocolate variation, include 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in the mixture and sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
Tips for Perfect Baked Oats:
- Blend Well: Make sure the oats are blended well to get that smooth, cake-like texture.
- Add Toppings: Get creative with toppings like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or even a swirl of nut butter for extra flavor.
- Check Doneness: The edges should pull away from the sides of the ramekin when it’s done, and the texture will resemble a moist cake.
