Ingredients
  

For the Oats Base
  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Substitution: Use gluten-free rolled oats if needed.
  • 1 large Large Egg Substitution: For a vegan option, use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water.
  • 1 medium Over-Ripe Banana Substitution: Applesauce or any other soft fruit can also work wonders.
For the Creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons Nut Butter (Peanut/Almond) Substitution: Try sunflower seed butter for a nut-free alternative.
  • 1 cup Almond Milk Substitution: Feel free to use coconut or soy milk for a different twist.
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional but highly recommended for added depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Don't skip this for that dreamy texture!
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon or Pumpkin Spice Substitution: Nutmeg or ginger can add a spicy zing.
For Sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup Substitution: Omit if the banana provides enough sweetness for your taste.

Equipment

  • high-speed blender
  • microwave-safe ramekin

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, large egg, over-ripe banana, nut butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Blend on high for 20 to 40 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Transfer the mixture into a bowl, and stir in your desired mix-ins. Ensure even distribution throughout the batter.
  3. Pour the blended oats mixture into a greased microwave-safe ramekin or large mug. Leave some space at the top as the oats will rise during cooking.
  4. Microwave on high for 90 to 120 seconds, checking for doneness at the 90-second mark. Adjust time in small increments if needed.
  5. Carefully remove the dish from the microwave and serve warm, topped with additional goodies like fresh fruit or yogurt.
