Ingredients

Scale
For the Baked Oats
- 1 egg replacer or flax egg (see notes)
- 1/2 medium banana (ripe)
- 1/2 cup oats (rolled)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tablespoon raisins (or currants)
For the Cross
- 2 tablespoons flour (all purpose)
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
The Baked Oats
- Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a small, oven-proof ramekin.
- In a blender, mix egg replacer/ flax egg, banana, oats, syrup, cinnamon and sea salt. Blend until incorporated.
- Stir the raisins into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased ramekin. Set aside, if making the cross.
The Cross
- To make the cross, mix 2 tablespoons of flour and one tablespoon of water in a tiny bowl or espresso cup. The mixture should be thick, but spreadable. If the mixture is too watery, it will spread. If it is too thick, it will be hard to pipe onto the oats.
- Add more flour or water as needed until you reach the right consistency.
- Once you've achieve the right texture, snip a tiny corner off of a sandwich bag. Using a spoon, transfer the mixture into the corner of the bag.
- Squeeze the mixture out of the bag (like a piping bag) and on top of the oats in the shape of a cross.
Baking the Oats
- Once the oats are ready to bake, place the ramekin in the preheated oven. Bake the oats until cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- The ramekin will be hot, so use an oven mitt to take your baked oats out of the oven. Let them cool slightly, then eat and enjoy!
Notes
*Notes: I use McKenzie’s Vegan Egg Replacer in all of my baked oats and it never fails! You can also use a flax egg or chia egg. (Normal eggs work too, if you’re not vegan.)
