Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled or quick oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Toppings
- 15 blueberries
- 6 raspberries (or any berries you like)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Nut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the dish: Lightly grease a 5 x 5 inch oven-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C) to ensure it’s fully heated when the batter is ready.
- Make the batter: Add the rolled or quick oats to a blender, then add the banana, egg, and maple syrup. Add the baking powder and kosher salt to the blender. Blend all ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, consistent batter without lumps.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the blended oat batter into the greased dish. Evenly distribute the blueberries and raspberries on top of the batter. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the oats are set and slightly golden on top.
- Serve: Remove the baked oats from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Top with optional powdered sugar or nut butter to taste. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a comforting breakfast or snack.
Notes
- These baked oats are lightly sweetened naturally with banana and maple syrup; feel free to adjust sweetness according to your preference.
- The recipe is versatile—swap berries with any favorite fruit like strawberries or blackberries.
- Using rolled oats will yield a slightly chewier texture, while quick oats result in a smoother batter.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax or chia egg substitute.
- Ensure the baking dish is properly greased to avoid sticking and easy cleanup.
