Description
This single-serve baked oats recipe skips the banana but still delivers a warm, cozy breakfast that tastes like dessert. It’s quick, nourishing, and customizable — perfect for mornings when you want something indulgent yet wholesome.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1–2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 6 oz ramekin or small oven-safe dish.
- For non-blended version: Mix oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and baking powder in a bowl. Stir in chocolate chips.
- For blended version: Blend the same ingredients until smooth, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour mixture into the prepared ramekin and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until golden and set.
- Top with berries, nut butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Serve warm.
Notes
- Blending gives a fluffy, muffin-like texture; non-blended stays more oatmeal-like.
- Customize with mix-ins like nuts, fruit, cocoa powder, or protein powder.
- Use any milk (dairy or non-dairy) and sweetener of choice.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for 30–45 seconds.
