Ingredients
  

Oats Base
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats substitute with gluten-free rolled oats if needed
  • 1 large egg replace with a flax egg for a vegan version
  • 1 medium over-ripe banana unsweetened applesauce works as a substitute
  • 2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut or almond) sunflower seed butter is a nut-free alternative
  • 1 cup almond milk swap with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract can be omitted for a simpler profile
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice adjust based on preference
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional sweetener
Add-Ins
  • 2 tablespoons mix-ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, etc.) customize with your favorite flavors

Equipment

  • high-speed blender
  • microwave-safe ramekin or large mug

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine old-fashioned rolled oats, a large egg, an over-ripe banana, nut butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Blend on high for 20-40 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a pancake batter.
  2. Once the base is blended, transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in your choice of mix-ins such as chocolate chips or blueberries.
  3. Pour the combined mixture into a well-greased microwave-safe ramekin or a large mug.
  4. Place your ramekin in the microwave and cook on high for 90-120 seconds, checking at the 90-second mark for doneness.
  5. Once cooked, let the oats sit for a minute to cool slightly before serving. Top with additional favorites like a dollop of peanut butter, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Ensure your ramekin is well-greased to prevent sticking. Cook until the oats are fluffy but still slightly moist at the center. Experiment with various mix-ins for enhanced flavor and nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
