PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Baked Oatmeal Cup With Banana And Maple Syrup:
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and lightly grease a ramekin or muffin tin. Proper greasing ensures your vegan baked oatmeal cup doesn’t stick.
- Mash The Banana: In a small bowl, mash ½ banana until smooth. Using ripe bananas adds natural sweetness to your healthy breakfast oatmeal cup.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in 2 tablespoons almond milk and ½ teaspoon maple syrup until well combined. This creates a creamy, flavorful base for your plant-based baked oatmeal.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Mix in ¼ cup rolled oats and ¼ teaspoon baking powder to form a thick batter. The oats provide fibre and sustained energy for a gluten-free breakfast.
- Pour And Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared ramekin and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until firm and lightly golden. Baking ensures your single-serve oatmeal cup is soft, fluffy and lightly sweetened.
- Cool And Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal cup to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy it alone or top with fresh fruit, nuts or a drizzle of extra maple syrup for a quick vegan breakfast or snack.
