Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats 40 g
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup 20 g
  • 1 teaspoon neutral oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

No-Banana Version

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce 120 g
  • 3 tablespoons milk 45 g, I use soy, but any milk works.
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional

Banana Version

  • 1 small ripe banana 85 g
  • ⅓ cup milk 80 g, I use soy, but any milk works.

Topping: No-Banana Version

  • ¼ cup chopped apple ~30 g, optional
  • 1 tablespoon yogurt

Topping: Banana Version

  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Instructions

Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), grease the ramekin and set it on a baking sheet.

No-Banana Version

  • Add the oats to a blender and blend on their own until they turn into a fine flour.
  • Add the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, baking powder and salt (and cinnamon, if using). Blend for about 1 minute until completely smooth, with no flecks of oats left.

Banana Version

  • Add the oats, banana, milk, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, baking powder and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. If the batter blends into a thick paste, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it pours.

Bake (Both Versions)

  • Pour the batter into the greased ramekin. It will be nearly full.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top, if using.
  • Bake until the edges pull away from the ramekin and the center is just set: 30 to 35 minutes for the no-banana version (check from 30 minutes), or about 25 minutes for the banana version (check from 22 minutes). Don’t wait for a clean toothpick or it will dry out.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before eating.
