Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 banana
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats
- pinch sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Toppings
- chocolate chips (for topping)
- flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat an oven-safe mug, ramekin, or small baking dish with oil to prevent sticking.
- Blend the batter: Add the oats, banana, egg, milk, sea salt, and baking soda to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring a consistent batter.
- Prepare to bake: Pour the blended batter into the prepared baking vessel. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top to create the cookie-inspired flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the baked oatmeal is set and slightly golden on top.
- Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for a delightful contrast, let it cool slightly, and enjoy your warm cookie baked oatmeal.
Notes
- You can substitute milk of choice with any dairy or plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax or chia egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp water).
- Add nuts or seeds to the batter for extra texture and nutrition.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled up to multiple servings by increasing ingredient quantities and using a larger baking dish.
- Ensure to cool slightly before eating, as the baked oatmeal will be very hot straight out of the oven.
