Chef's Pro-Tips
- Mise en Place: Measure and prep all ingredients before you turn on the stove. This recipe moves quickly, and having everything ready prevents burning.
- Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice, whole garlic cloves, and fresh herbs instead of dried/jarred versions. The flavor difference is huge!
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Leave room between ingredients. If the pan is overloaded, the moisture will steam the food instead of browning it.

servings

Step-by-Step Instructions
Blend Ingredients
Place the rolled oats, ripe banana, almond milk, maple syrup, peanut butter, and baking powder into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the batter is completely smooth and resembles a thin pancake batter.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Pour the batter into a greased oven-safe ramekin. Stir in half of the dark chocolate chips gently, then scatter the remaining chocolate chips on top.
Bake to Perfection
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set but still slightly soft to the touch. Serve warm.
