Description
Like cake for breakfast, baked oats are made with blended oats, an egg, banana, and a little honey. This is gluten-free and and has a great texture.
Ingredients
- 40 grams rolled oats
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons honey or 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soft coconut oil or butter or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch sea salt
- Toppings as preferred pictured is ~15 frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease two 150 ml (5 oz.) ramekins with oil or butter. Set aside. I recommend baking on a baking sheet of some kind for easier removal when baked, so that you can take the whole baking sheet out rather than trying to handle the ramekins when they're very hot.
- Add the oats, banana, egg, honey, oil, vanilla, baking powder, and salt to a blender or blending container. I recommend a bullet blender or immersion blender if you have one (a standing blender is a little messy for this recipe, but certainly works).
- Mix until very smooth and the oats have broken down into very small pieces, like whole wheat flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared ramekins and top with any add-ins. Press them in lightly.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden and just firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool for at least five minutes before serving.
Notes
If you want to make one larger portion of baked oats instead of two, use a 230 ml (8 oz.) ramekin and bake for 20 to 25 minutes instead.
I got my ramekins secondhand at a Red Cross store and they're from Duralex.
Baked oats are best served immediately, but can be refrigerated for a day if necessary. I've also baked them and then left them out at room temperature for a few hours, covered, before eating, and they were fine.
