• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 ripe banana

Additional

• 1 tsp Nutella

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray a ramekin or small baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the quick oats, maple syrup, salt, ripe banana, baking powder, and egg. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Assemble the Baked Oats: Pour half of the oat mixture into the prepared ramekin. Spoon the Nutella in the center over this half-layer, then cover with the remaining oat mixture to encase the Nutella.

5. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the ramekin from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the baked oats to firm up. Serve warm and enjoy your Nutella baked oats!

Notes

• You can substitute Nutella with any other chocolate-hazelnut spread or a dollop of peanut butter for variation.
• If you prefer a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg or mashed chia seeds.
• Quick oats are recommended for smooth texture, but rolled oats can be used with a slightly chunkier consistency.
• Adjust sweetness by increasing or reducing maple syrup to taste.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.
