Ingredients

Oatmeal Batter

  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 small banana (ripe or overripe)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp creamy almond butter

Maple Cinnamon Topping

  • 3/4 tsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C) to prepare for baking the oatmeal.
  2. Combine Batter Ingredients: Add all the oatmeal batter ingredients — quick oats, banana, baking powder, cinnamon, almond milk, maple syrup, and almond butter — into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Blend Batter: Blend the mixture for a few minutes until it reaches a smooth and creamy oatmeal batter consistency without any lumps.
  4. Pour Batter: Pour your blended oatmeal batter into an oven-safe ramekin, smoothing the top evenly.
  5. Make Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the maple cinnamon topping ingredients — almond milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
  6. Apply Topping: Spoon the maple cinnamon topping over the oatmeal batter, creating a spiral shape to mimic the look of a cinnamon roll swirl.
  7. Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and achieves your preferred consistency.
  8. Cool and Finish: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly after removing from the oven. If desired, add a drizzle of vegan vanilla icing on top for extra sweetness.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy this comforting, cinnamon roll-inspired baked oatmeal fresh and warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk of your choice.
  • Ripe bananas help naturally sweeten the oatmeal; use overripe bananas for more sweetness.
  • For a vegan option, ensure the maple syrup and almond butter are vegan-friendly and use vegan vanilla icing.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and texture preference; less time for a softer oatmeal, more time for a firmer texture.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit after baking.
