Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 banana
- 1/3 cup milk (of choice)
- 1/2 Tbsp peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Toppings
- 1 chocolate square
- a few chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or air fryer: Set your oven or air fryer to 350ºF (175ºC) so it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your oatmeal.
- Blend the oats: Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
- Add remaining ingredients: Into the same blender, add the banana, milk, peanut butter, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Blend everything until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the batter and adjust sweetness or peanut butter amount to your liking for the perfect flavor balance.
- Prepare baking vessel: Pour the blended batter into a heat-proof bowl or ramekin suitable for oven or air fryer use.
- Add chocolate topping: Press a chocolate square into the center of the batter and sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top. Optionally, swirl some melted chocolate or homemade syrup on top for a swirled effect.
- Bake: If using an oven, bake at 350ºF (175ºC) for 20-25 minutes depending on your desired texture—20 minutes for gooey and 25 minutes for cakey. In an air fryer, bake at the same temperature for 15-20 minutes following the same texture preferences.
- Cool and serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before enjoying a warm, chocolatey breakfast treat.
