Ingredients
Batter Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 ripe banana mashed for natural sweetness and moisture
- ½ cup milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Toppings (Optional)
- berries, nuts, or chocolate chips for topping
- maple syrup or honey for drizzling
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Then add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Baking
- Transfer the batter to an oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish. Optionally fold in any ingredients like berries or chocolate chips.
- Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and slide it into the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on top.
- Allow the bowl to cool slightly before enjoying.
Notes
Ensure your banana is well-ripened for maximum sweetness. Feel free to experiment with flavorings and top with Greek yogurt for added creaminess. If you’d like extra sweetness, consider adding honey or maple syrup.
