Ingredients

1/2 small overripe banana (50g) see notes
1/3 cup old fashioned oats (32g)
2 Tbsp milk of choice (30g)
1 Tbsp vanilla protein powder (7g)
2 tsp peanut butter (10g)
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (10g)

Instructions

Grease a (6 or 8 oz.) ramekin or other small oven-safe dish; set aside.
In a separate small bowl, mash the banana with a fork.
Mix in the oats, milk, protein powder, peanut butter and baking powder until well combined.
Transfer batter to dish. Mix in the chocolate chips, saving a few for topping, then smooth the top out. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips (plus a tiny pinch of salt if desired).
To bake in oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Once preheated, place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave dish in the hot oven for about 10 minutes to finish cooking the center
To bake in air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F. Once preheated, place in air fryer and cook for 5-7 minutes. The top will be browned and set but the inside will still be gooey so don’t dig in yet! Turn the air fryer off while keeping the dish inside to sit for about another 10 minutes to finish cooking the center.
Carefully remove. Top with a few banana coins + drizzle of maple syrup to serve if desired and enjoy!

Notes

Banana: Wait for that banana to get some brown spots! Using an overripe banana is going to make this oatmeal taste the yummiest! As bananas ripen, they get sweeter and more flavorful (making sweeter and more flavorful baked oats!). You can ripen your bananas in the oven if needed.

*If your banana isn’t quite ripe yet, you can still use it for texture, just add in about a tablespoon of maple syrup (or to taste) for sweetness.
