Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 banana
- 1/3 cup milk (of choice)
- 1/2 Tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Chocolate square and a few chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven or air fryer to 350ºF (175ºC) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking your oatmeal.
- Blend the oats: Place the rolled oats into a blender or food processor and process until you achieve a fine, flour-like consistency. This step helps create a smooth, cakey texture.
- Make the batter: Add the banana, milk, peanut butter, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the blender with the oat flour. Blend everything together until you get a smooth batter. Taste and adjust sweetness or peanut butter amount if desired.
- Prepare for baking: Pour the batter into a heat-proof bowl or ramekin. Press one chocolate square into the center of the batter, and sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top. For a chocolate swirl topping, you can swirl some melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, or Nutella into the batter surface before adding the chips.
- Bake: Bake the oatmeal in the preheated oven at 350ºF (175ºC) for 20-25 minutes. For a gooey center bake closer to 20 minutes, or for a firmer, cake-like texture bake for 25 minutes. If using an air fryer, bake at the same temperature for 15-20 minutes, adjusting time for desired texture.
- Serve: Remove from oven or air fryer, let cool slightly, then enjoy your warm, chocolate peanut butter baked oatmeal breakfast.
