- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 15 blueberries
- 6 raspberries (or any berries you like)
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a 5 x 5 inch oven-safe dish or ramekin to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Make the batter: Add the oats into a blender, followed by the banana, egg, and maple syrup. Sprinkle in the baking powder and kosher salt. Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, pourable batter consistency.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the blended batter into the greased baking dish. Evenly distribute the blueberries and raspberries on top. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the oats are set and lightly golden.
- Add toppings and serve: Remove the baked oats from the oven and optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar or spread nut butter on top. Serve the baked oats warm or allow to cool to room temperature before enjoying.
