If you are looking for a single-serving oatmeal recipe, this is the one for you! It is so simple to make and perfect for a quick breakfast.
Equipment
- 1 small baking dish
Ingredients
- ½ cup regular oats
- ⅔ cup milk I used almond milk, but you can use whatever you like.
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or brown sugar
- ½ egg I mix the egg, then divide it in half. Don't throw the rest of it away! You can use it another day or use it to top salads, toast, etc.
- 1 tablespoon nut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. If you don't want oatmeal with whole oats, you can also do this in a food processor or blender. You will only need to pulse a few times to incorporate.
- If you are mixing it by hand, be sure to blend it well.
- Spray your baking dish with pan release or butter with softened butter.
- Pour in the oatmeal mixture and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the baking dish you used.
- Remove from the oven and it is ready to serve.
