Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk (or milk alternative)
  • 1 large egg (or ½ mashed banana for a vegan option)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Flavor Add-Ins

  • ½ tsp cinnamon or vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder for a chocolate version
  • Handful of berries, nuts, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Mix the Base Ingredients

    • In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, egg (or banana), baking powder, sweetener, and salt.
    • Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

  • Customize with Add-Ins

    • Add your favorite flavors, like cinnamon, cocoa powder, berries, or chocolate chips.
    • Stir gently to incorporate.

  • Microwave to Perfection

    • Place the mug or bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute.
    • If the oats look slightly undercooked, microwave for an additional 10–15 seconds.

  • Cool & Serve

    • Let the oats cool for a minute before enjoying.
    • Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of nut butter, or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor!

Notes

  • For a Vegan Version: Use mashed banana instead of an egg and plant-based milk.
  • For Extra Protein: Add 1 tbsp of nut butter or a scoop of protein powder.
  • For a Cake-Like Texture: Blend the oats before mixing for a smoother consistency.
  • Make It Ahead: Prep the dry ingredients in advance and just add liquid before microwaving.
  • Storage: Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
