Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chai spice (or ground cinnamon)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/3 cup frozen blueberries (or fresh blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the oats.
- Blend the base mixture: In a high-speed blender, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ripe banana, baking powder, chai spice, and maple syrup. Blend for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the oats break down and the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Divide and add blueberries: Pour the blended oat mixture evenly into two 10-ounce ramekins or small baking dishes. Top each dish with the frozen or fresh blueberries.
- Bake the oats: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the oats are set and lightly golden on top.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice, such as cow’s milk or oat milk.
- Chai spice can be replaced with ground cinnamon if preferred.
- For a vegan dish, ensure the maple syrup is pure and not mixed with any animal-derived products.
- Frozen blueberries work just as well as fresh and add a nice burst of flavor as they bake.
- Ramekins around 10 ounces in size work best for individual portions, but small baking dishes can be used as well.
- To make this gluten-free, confirm that the rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
