Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (or quick cooking oats - see note below)
1 extra ripe banana , cut into large chunks
1 large egg
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1/2 cup blueberries
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
maple syrup , for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the center position. Grease 2, 8 ounce ramekins with butter or nonstick spray.
Add the oats to a blender and pulse until they are very fine and the consistency of flour.
Add the banana, egg, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Blend on high for a minute or so until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture between the two ramekins.
Add most of the blueberries, mix thoroughly, then add the remaining blueberries on top. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the oats have risen and are springy to the touch.
Serve with extra blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup or milk, if desired. Eat immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Try different kinds of milk. Almond milk, cow's milk, and oat milk all work great, so use whichever milk is your preference.

Using steel-cut oats. Rolled oats and quick oats are my preference, but steel-cut oats are okay to use as long as you're able to grind them down to a very fine consistency. If the steel-cut oats are not finely blended, they'll have a chewy texture.

Make vegan baked oats. To make this recipe vegan, use maple syrup and not honey. You can use flaxseed egg instead of egg. Combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water, allow to sit for 5 minutes then use in place of the egg in the recipe. I wouldn't recommend skipping the egg entirely, because the oats won't rise properly.

Swap out the blueberries for a different berry. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and pretty much any other berry will work. Or use a mixed berry blend.
