Equipment

  • 1 Small blender

Ingredients

  • ½ cup oats
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • ¼ cup milk of choice
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup (see note below)
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings of choice - yoghurt, a drizzle of maple syrup and nuts is what I love.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF) and line a small tin with baking paper. Mine was 18 x 13.5cm (7 x 5.5 inches)
  • Blend oats into a flour-like consistency. I did this in a Nutribullet (see notes below)
  • Add remaining ingredients to your blender (except toppings) and blend again to form a batter
  • Pour into your prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes, or until it looks golden
  • Remove from the oven, add toppings and enjoy.

Notes

If the banana you're using is very ripe (spotty skin) you might find you don't need the maple syrup. Or you could reduce it by half if you want to.
I have said in the post above that I don't suggest blending oats in a Thermomix. This is because it's a very small volume and is unlikely to get to the flour-like consistency you're after. Going with something smaller like a Nutribullet or Vitamix is ideal.
You could also try replacing the banana with 1/2 cup of applesauce or cooked, blended apple for something different.
