Equipment

ramekins

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats if desired)
1 ½ ripe bananas
½ cup milk any type
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch kosher salt
3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease three ramekins with cooking spray.
Place all the ingredients except for the chocolate chips in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins and sprinkle a tablespoon of chocolate chips on top of each one.
Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
To make the dish in the air fryer, preheat your air fryer to 300°F. Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook 12-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Notes:

Leftover chocolate baked oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Simply cover the ramekins with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months.

If desired, you can double the recipe and bake it in a large baking dish or loaf pan.

If you don't have any ripe bananas, read my post on how to quickly ripen bananas in the oven or air fryer.

Recipe Variations:

For vanilla baked oats, skip the cocoa powder. You can stir in toppings like chocolate chips, fresh berries or chopped nuts.
Stir some peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter into the batter. Or just drizzle some nut butter on top of the finished dish.
For a boost of protein, you can stir a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder into the batter.
