Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ ripe banana
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 to 2 tbsp chocolate chips or blueberries (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place the oats, egg, banana, milk, baking powder, salt, and vanilla (if using) in a blender. Blend on high 20–30 seconds until smooth.
  2. If using chocolate chips or blueberries, fold them into the batter by hand.
  3. Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug with at least a 12 oz capacity.
  4. Microwave on high 2 to 2½ minutes, until the top is set and springs back when touched lightly.
  5. Let the mug rest 1 minute to finish setting, then top with yogurt, fruit, or nut butter and serve warm.

Notes

Microwave power varies, so if the center looks wet after the cook time, microwave in 15-second bursts until just set. The banana provides enough sweetness for most people, so taste before adding any extra sugar.
