Transform your morning porridge into a cake-like treat with these easy banana baked oats. Perfectly fluffy and naturally sweetened, they are a nutritious breakfast that feels like a decadent dessert.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas 4). If you are using an air fryer, preheat it to 180°C for 4 minutes.
Place the porridge oats into a blender and pulse a few times until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
Add the baking powder, chopped banana, maple syrup or honey, eggs, and mixed spice or cinnamon to the blender. Whizz until the mixture is completely smooth.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips or berries by hand, reserving a few for the topping if desired.
Lightly grease four heatproof ramekins with a little flavourless oil. Divide the batter evenly between the ramekins.
Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven, or 8-10 minutes in the air fryer, until well-risen and the oats spring back when lightly pressed. Scatter with extra toppings before serving.
For a vegan version, replace the eggs with two 'flax eggs' (2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water). If you don't have a blender, you can use oat flour and mash the banana very well before whisking everything together.
