🛒 Ingredients for 1 Generous Serving
The beauty of this recipe is that you probably already have everything in your pantry:
- ½ Cup Rolled Oats (Old Fashioned or Instant)
- 1 Large Egg (Or ¼ cup applesauce for a vegan version)
- ⅓ Cup Milk (Your choice: almond, oat, dairy)
- 1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup (For that caramelized touch)
- ½ tsp. Baking Powder (The secret to a cake-like rise)
- 1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon (Don’t skimp, it’s the star)
- ¼ tsp. Salt (Enhances all the flavors)
- ½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or light whipped cream.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (ramekin) or use parchment paper for easy removal.
2. The Secret is in the Blender
Add all the ingredients (oats, egg, milk, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla) directly into the blender.
💡 Pro Tip: Blend for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and resembles pancake batter. This eliminates the grainy texture of the oats!
3. Bake until Golden Brown
Pour the mixture into your ramekin. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon and sugar on top to create that signature snickerdoodle crust. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm but still moist to the touch.
4. Cool and Enjoy
Let it rest for 2-3 minutes (it will be very hot!). Eat straight from the pan or remove it from the pan. Serve with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey.
