👨‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)

Step 1: Prep the dish
Lightly grease a small baking dish with a touch of oil or butter.
💡A ceramic or glass dish works best for even baking.

Step 2: Mash the banana
In the dish, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
💡The riper the banana, the sweeter the bake will be!

Step 3: Add the raspberries and egg
Drop in your raspberries and crack in the egg. Mix well.
💡Frozen raspberries work just as well – no need to thaw.

Step 4: Add oats and milk
Pour in the oats and then the milk. Let sit for 2–3 minutes.
💡Soaking softens the oats and gives a better texture.

Step 5: Stir in yogurt and baking powder
Add Greek yogurt and baking powder. Mix until fully combined.
💡Want a fluffier texture? Add 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar.

Step 6: Optional extras
Add vanilla extract and cinnamon if using – stir again.
💡Cinnamon boosts flavour and supports blood sugar balance.

Step 7: Smooth the top
Use a spoon to level the top of the mixture in the dish.
💡Smoothing helps even baking and prettier presentation.

Step 8: Add toppings
Sprinkle with almonds, coconut flakes, or extra berries.
💡Toppings add texture and elevate the flavour profile.

Step 9: Bake to perfection
Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 35 minutes.
💡It’s ready when golden on top and set in the centre.

Step 10: Serve and enjoy
Let cool slightly, then dig in warm – or chill and enjoy later!
💡Delicious on its own or with extra yogurt on top.
