- 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 prefer)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Nut butter, for serving (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 reaches the proper baking temperature.
- Make the batter: Place the rolled or quick oats into a blender first. Add the ripe banana, egg, and maple syrup, followed by the baking powder and kosher salt. Blend all these ingredients until the mixture forms a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Assemble for baking: Pour the blended oat batter into the prepared greased dish. Evenly distribute the blueberries and raspberries on top of the batter to infuse the baked oats with fruity goodness.
- Bake the oats: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the baked oats are set and slightly golden on top.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the baked oats from the oven and let it cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and add a dollop of your favorite nut butter. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful breakfast treat.
