Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
Oats
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 small/medium banana
- 2 Tbsp cashew butter
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips
Topping
- handful of dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp cashew butter (for the center)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a blender, combine old fashioned oats, baking powder, sea salt, banana, cashew butter, almond milk and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Save 3 Tbsp of batter, and pour the remainder into an oven safe baking dish. Stir in dark chocolate chips until covered.
- Add in 1 Tbsp of cashew butter to the center, then pour the reserved batter on top. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. This will result in a gooey center. Bake for an additional 10 minutes if you want a more solid center.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes, then enjoy warm!
Notes
- Blend for the Best Texture: If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the oats, banana, and other ingredients before baking. For a more rustic texture, leave the oats whole.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the maple syrup to your taste. You can omit it entirely for less sweetness or swap it with agave, honey, or date syrup.
- Prevent Sticking: Grease your baking dish or ramekins lightly with oil or butter to ensure the oats release easily after baking.
- Monitor Baking Time: Oven times can vary, so start checking at 20 minutes. The oats should be set but still slightly soft in the center.
