Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 100g porridge oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 banana, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 2 eggs
  • Pinch of mixed spice or ground cinnamon
  • 100g chocolate chips, blueberries or raspberries, plus extra to serve
  • Flavourless oil, for the ramekins

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare oats: Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. Place the oats in a blender and pulse a few times until they resemble a coarse flour texture.
  2. Blend batter: Add the baking powder, chopped banana, maple syrup or honey, eggs, and a pinch of mixed spice or cinnamon to the blender. Whizz everything until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add mix-ins: Stir in the chocolate chips, blueberries, or raspberries gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Prepare ramekins and bake: Lightly oil four heatproof ramekins to prevent sticking, then divide the batter equally between them. Place in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the oats have risen well and spring back when lightly pressed.
  5. Serve: Remove the baked oats from the oven and scatter extra chocolate chips or berries on top if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or another natural sweetener.
  • Feel free to use your favorite berries or mix-ins like nuts or dried fruits.
  • Using a blender helps achieve a smoother texture similar to a cake batter.
  • Make sure to oil ramekins thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Baked oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
