Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two ramekins thoroughly to prevent the oats from sticking and set them aside.
- Combine Ingredients in Blender: Add the milk, rolled oats, brown sugar, egg, ripe banana, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to a blender for easy mixing.
- Blend the Mixture: Blend all the ingredients together for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, ensuring an even texture.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in half of the mini semisweet chocolate chips into the blended oat mixture to add bursts of chocolate throughout.
- Fill Ramekins: Pour the oatmeal batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills and make handling easier.
- Top with Remaining Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the oat batter for extra sweetness and a lovely appearance.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the oats are set and spring back lightly when pressed, indicating they are cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for a comforting breakfast treat.
