Annoyingly, I bought more vegan white chocolate chips to use in more oatmeal recipes, but being the person that I am, I’ve finished two and a half bags already and this is the only recipe I have to show for it. I can’t say for sure where it is all going, but it might have something to do with the chocolate I am constantly licking off the palms of my hand every night… 🙂

Praise Zeus that I was able to concoct this one before I inhaled all four bags. Here’s hoping I can pump out a few more, as well.

What you'll need:

  • 1 ripe banana (or 1/2 a small one)
  • juice of one lemon
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1/4 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/4 heaping cup quick cook steel cut oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tbsp white chocolate chips

How to make it:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a single-serving ramekin with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash banana thoroughly. Stir in lemon juice, milk, and lemon extract.
  3. In another bowl, combine dry ingredients: oats, baking powder, and salt. Once mixed, add to wet ingredients and stir until combined.
  4. Pour half of the oatmeal into the ramekin. Pile the white chocolate chips in the center, and then pour the remaining oatmeal batter on top.
  5. Transfer to the ramekin and bake for 22-26 minutes.
