Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips, plus extra for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a small 6-inch round or 4×6-inch baking dish.
  2. Blend the oats, banana, cocoa powder, milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, and salt until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Fold in the 2 tbsp chocolate chips, then scrape the batter into the prepared dish.
  4. Top with extra chocolate chips and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Let rest 2 minutes, then scoop into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

This recipe works best with a very ripe, spotty banana for natural sweetness. If you only have a small banana (under 4 inches), add an extra tablespoon of milk to keep the batter pourable. The baked oats will be soft and fudgy right out of the oven; as they cool, they firm up slightly but remain tender.
