Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas Approx. 1 cup smashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1/4 cup milk, any type
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup oats, quick or old fashioned
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients, except the chocolate chips, to your blender. If you do not have a blender, a food processor will work too. Blend well.
  • Mix in chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter evenly into 4 ramekins (8 oz size) or any microwave save bowl or mug. Top with a couple more chocolate chips, if you are feeling sassy.
  • Microwave 1 ramekin for approximately 2 minutes to bake. It will grow a LOT but it shouldn't overflow in an 8 oz ramekin. You know it is baked enough when the entire top looks cooked and it does not look shiny or doughy.
  • Also, use a towel or pot holder to remove from microwave. It will be hot! Allow to cool slightly. ENJOY!
  • Cover the other 3 ramekins with silicone covers or plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When it's time to make more, remove cover, microwave for 2 minutes, and enjoy a fresh Brownie Batter Oatmeal cup each morning.

Notes

Other Thoughts
  • One serving contains 360 calories with 45 gm carbohydrates, 13 gm protein, and 15 gm fat. 
  • When you reheat these from a cold refrigerator vs room temperature the first go around, it may take a little more than 2 minutes. Just watch for it to fully rise in the center and look cooked through. 
  • Since the sweetness comes from bananas, the inside of the oatmeal may look a little soft in places. As long as it's steaming hot, it's cooked through. 
How-to-Use
Athletes: If this is breakfast, we need to add a good source of protein - like Greek yogurt or Skyr or scrambled eggs. Plus, add a side of fruit for more carbs. Or, just eat two for all the carbs & protein you need to support your training. Eat this for a snack any time of the day. 
Healthy Eating: Add a side of protein to make this a filling, satisfying breakfast that has staying power until lunch. Think: top with Greek yogurt or Skyr - or eggs on the side - or a protein shake on the side.
Kids: Common - what kid wouldn't want this for breakfast?! Just don't let them dig in until it cools a little. We made that mistake one time...
