Maple Banana Baked Oats
This maple banana baked oats is a delicious addition to dark and gloomy winter mornings. They're warming, delicious and hearty!
Ingredients
For the oats
- 80 g Jumbo oats
- 120 ml almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp 100% pure Canadian maple syrup preferably dark syrup for its robust taste
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 40 g chocolate chips
For the caramelised banana
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tbsp 100% pure Canadian maple sugar
- 1 tbsp cold water
- 10 g unsalted butter
Instructions
To make the oats
- Preheat your oven to 180C / 350F.
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender, except for the oats and chocolate chips, and blend until smooth.
- Divide the oat mixture between two oven-safe bowls, mugs or ramekins.
- Stir in the oats and sprinkle over the chocolate chips.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
For the caramelised bananas
- Cut your banana in half lengthways then heat the maple sugar over a low heat in a non-stick frying pan. After a few minutes, the sugar will start to caramelise around the edges of the pan. Keep cooking until it's turned a golden amber colour, swirling the pan as you go. And be patient – if the heat is too high, it may burn!
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, 100% pure Canadian maple syrup and 1 tbsp of cold water. This is to stop the caramel from cooking any further.
- Add the banana cut side down and return to the heat; cook for 1-2 minutes and then turn over. The bananas should have taken on the caramel colour.
To serve
- Remove your baked oats from the oven, top with half a caramelised banana and an extra drizzle of 100% pure Canadian maple syrup – preferably dark for its robust flavour!
