  • 1 medium over-ripe banana Use applesauce as a sweetener alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, add the essential base ingredients: rolled oats, large egg, over-ripe banana, nut butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of cinnamon. Blend until smooth.
  2. Once your batter is smooth, stir in your favorite mix-ins. Use a spatula to gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased microwave-safe ramekin or mug, filling it no more than halfway.
  4. Place the ramekin in the microwave and cook on high for 90-120 seconds, checking for doneness at 90 seconds.
  5. Once cooked, remove from the microwave and top with your choice of toppings. Enjoy your warm and comforting breakfast.
