Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Use gluten-free rolled oats for a gluten-sensitive option.
  • 1 Large Egg Add a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water) for a vegan twist.
  • 1 Over-Ripe Banana Can be swapped for applesauce for a different flavor profile.
  • 2 tablespoons Nut Butter Choose peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter as a nut-free choice.
  • 1/2 cup Almond Milk Substitute with any plant-based milk like coconut or soy.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional depending on your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps achieve that cake-like fluffiness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Pumpkin spice, nutmeg or ginger are lovely alternatives.
For Sweetening
  • Honey or Maple Syrup Adjust the quantity based on your personal taste.
For Mix-Ins
  • Mix-Ins (e.g., chocolate chips, blueberries) Get creative with your favorite combinations!

Equipment

  • microwave-safe ramekin
  • high-speed blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine rolled oats, egg, banana, nut butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth, resembling pancake batter.
  2. Add Mix-Ins: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in your choice of mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries.
  3. Prepare the Microwave-Safe Dish: Grease a microwave-safe ramekin or mug, pour the batter into it, leaving room for the oats to puff up.
  4. Microwave the Oats: Cook on high for 90 seconds, checking for doneness. Continue microwaving in 10-second increments if needed.
  5. Serve Your Creation: Let cool briefly, then enjoy with toppings like nut butter, yogurt, or fresh fruit.

Grease your dish well to prevent sticking. For hassle-free mornings, prepare ingredients (minus the egg) and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Add the egg before cooking.
