Instructions

Preheat oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking when your batter is prepared.
Blend the ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, banana, eggs, almond milk, and honey. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined, creating a batter with a creamy consistency.
Divide batter and add chocolate chips: Evenly distribute the batter among four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes. Then sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly on top or gently fold them into each ramekin for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
Bake: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the tops are puffed up, lightly golden brown, and set in the center.
Cool and serve: After removing from the oven, allow the baked oats to cool for at least five minutes. This resting period lets them firm up slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature for a comforting, wholesome treat.

Notes

You can substitute the almond milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy or other plant-based milks.
For a vegan version, replace the eggs with flax eggs or chia eggs and use maple syrup instead of honey.
Add nuts or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor if desired.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or sweetener to taste.
