Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup rolled oats gluten-free as needed
  • 1/2 ripe banana (the spottier the banana the more sweeter your baked oats will be)
  • 1 flax egg (for the flax egg combine 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds and whisk with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until thick and gel-like.) You can also use 1 large egg if not plant-based or egg substitute of choice.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp unflavored or vanilla plant-based protein powder , we like Sprout Living. Optional for added protein - omit if preferred.
  • Small pinch fine sea salt
  • Dairy-free or regular chocolate gems / chips
  • 1 square / rectangle piece of a dairy-free or regular chocolate bar (such as Hu Kitchen, Eating Evolved, Pascha’s Chocolate, Enjoy Life, Lily’s Sweets, Lindt, Guitard etc.), for the center
  • Dairy-free or regular chocolate gems / chips
  • Large flaked sea salt Maldon, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease an oven-safe ramekin.
  2. Add all the ingredients (minus the chocolate square and chocolate chips) to a personal-sized or small blender. Blend until smooth and fully combined. Pour half the batter evenly into the ramekin. Press the chocolate square / rectangle into the center. Pour the remaining batter over the square. Top evenly with some chocolate chips.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven for about 13-15 minutes. Allow the cake to cool for at least 2-3 minutes before enjoying. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt (optional) and enjoy.
