Chef's Pro-Tips
- Blend to Fine Consistency: Puree the rolled oats with wet ingredients for 40-50 seconds until completely silky smooth. This transforms ordinary oats into a light, cake-like sponge rather than a dense porridge.
- Use Very Ripe Bananas: Spotted, brown-flecked bananas provide natural moisture, rich sweetness, and binding power so you can reduce added sugars.
- Watch the Center: Bake until the perimeter is golden and the center has a gentle spring back. Pulling it out slightly soft ensures a gooey, molten texture as it cools.

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.
