Chocolate Chip Banana Baked Oats

Ingredients

• ½ cup old fashion oats (rolled oats)
• 1 small banana
• 1-2 tbsps. maple syrup (more or less to taste)
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 whole egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 tbsps. whole milk
• 2-3 tbsps. semi sweet chocolate chips or chunks (more or less per preference)
• dash of salt
• Drizzle of melted chocolate

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F. Place rack in the middle of your oven.

2. 2

   In a blender, blend all the ingredients together, except for the chocolate chunks, until nice and smooth.

3. 3

   Spray the ramekins (8 oz.) with baking spray. Pour in the batter and top with chocolate chunks. NOTE: You can also push some of the chunks of chocolate in the batter if you want them incorporated inside the dough as well.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Depending on your oven it, may take a little less or a little more. So just check for doneness at around 20 minutes. The dough should not be jiggly in any way, but you also do not want to over cook.

5. 5

   Remove from the oven and let is cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle some melted chocolate on top or your favorite topping.
