  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ large over-ripe banana (more brown spots = sweeter)
  • 1 tbsp nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, sun butter, or cashew butter)
  • 3 tbsp almond milk or oat milk (vanilla unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice

Optional Sweetness

  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Mix-in Ideas

  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp blueberries
  • Extra banana slices for topping
  • 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add all the base ingredients to a high-speed blender (do not add mix-ins yet). Blend on high for 20 to 40 seconds until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Add Mix-ins: Stir in your desired mix-ins such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or sprinkles into the batter.
  3. Prepare Cooking Vessel: Pour the batter into a greased microwave-safe ramekin (8-ounce size recommended) or a large mug. Top with extra chocolate chips or your preferred mix-ins.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Microwave on high for 90 to 120 seconds. The baked oats will puff up substantially and may look over-risen; this is normal. They will deflate slightly once done. Check at 90 seconds, then continue cooking in 10-second intervals if needed until the oats are cooked through and not liquidy.
  5. Serve: The oats should be moist and fluffy. Serve with a drizzle of peanut butter, a dollop of yogurt, and/or fresh fruit for added flavor and texture. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Microwave wattages vary, so cooking times may need to be adjusted accordingly.
  • Over-ripe bananas increase the sweetness and moisture of the baked oats.
  • Gluten-free oats should be used if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
  • Customize with your favorite nut butters and milk alternatives.
  • Use a microwave-safe container and grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
