Equipment

oven, mixing bowl, fork, spatula, measuring spoon, ramekin, baking tray, pastry brush, oven mitt, cooling rack, spoon

Instructions

  1. Set up station

    Gather weighed ingredients, 2 small ramekins, a mixing bowl, fork, spatula, measuring spoons, and a baking tray before heating the oven. · 3 min

    What to look for: All ingredients and tools are within reach.

  2. Heat oven

    Heat the oven to 180°C / 356°F and lightly coat 2 small ramekins with the softened butter. · 5 min

    What to look for: The ramekins have a thin, even butter coating.

  3. Mash banana

    Mash the banana in the bowl until mostly smooth, leaving a few small pieces for a banana bread texture. · 3 min

    What to look for: The banana looks glossy with a few soft lumps.

  4. Mix batter

    Add the egg, water, oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt, then stir until the mixture is thick and evenly hydrated. · 4 min

    What to look for: The batter looks like a thick, spoonable porridge.

  5. Fill ramekins

    Divide the batter between the ramekins and scatter the chopped walnut over the tops for crunch. · 3 min

    What to look for: Both ramekins are filled evenly and topped with walnut.

  6. Bake oats

    Bake on the center rack for 22 to 25 minutes until puffed, set at the edges, and lightly golden on top. · 25 min

    What to look for: The tops are lightly golden and the edges no longer look wet.

  7. Cool briefly

    Rest the ramekins for 5 minutes so the centers finish setting and the banana aroma settles into the oats. · 5 min

    What to look for: The surface settles slightly but remains tender.

  8. Serve warm

    Serve warm in the ramekins while the tops are tender and the walnut pieces still taste toasted. · 1 min

    What to look for: Each portion is warm, soft, and spoonable.
