👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
✔️ Step 1: Gather your ingredients
All you need is oats, banana, almond milk, an egg (optional), peanut butter, maple syrup and chocolate.
💡 Use extra ripe bananas — the riper, the sweeter!
✔️ Step 2: Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) so it’s ready by the time your mixture is done.
💡 Preheating ensures even baking and fluffy texture.
✔️ Step 3: Blend the base
In a blender, combine oats, banana, milk, egg, peanut butter, and syrup.
💡 Blend just until smooth — don’t overmix!
✔️ Step 4: Check consistency
The batter should be thick but pourable. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick.
💡 Thickness can vary depending on your banana size.
✔️ Step 5: Prepare your baking dish
Lightly grease a ramekin or small baking dish.
💡 Use parchment paper if you prefer an oil-free version.
✔️ Step 6: Pour the batter
Pour the blended mixture into your prepared dish.
💡 Tap it gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
✔️ Step 7: Add chocolate
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top or stir them in — your choice!
💡 Try dark chocolate chunks for extra richness.
✔️ Step 8: Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
💡 Check doneness with a toothpick — it should come out mostly clean.
✔️ Step 9: Cool slightly
Let it sit for 5 minutes before digging in.
💡 Cooling helps the texture firm up beautifully.
✔️ Step 10: Enjoy or pack
Eat it warm or pack it to-go in a container for later.
💡 This bake stays fresh and moist even the next day!
