Ingredients
Scale
½ cup rolled oats
1 ripe banana (medium)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
⅓ cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Handful of dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Optional: caramel drizzle for extra indulgence
Instructions
Blend oats, banana, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla, salt, sweetener, and milk until smooth.
Stir in chocolate chips and peanut butter if using.
Pour the batter into a greased ramekin or small oven-safe dish. Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until the top is set but the center stays slightly gooey.

Notes
Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
For a protein boost, add a scoop of protein powder to the batter.
