Instructions
Baked Oatmeal Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a microwave-safe single-serve baking dish or ramekin.
In an oven-safe ramekin or baking dish, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the rolled oats (certified gluten-free oats), liquid, honey or maple syrup (if desired), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and collagen peptides. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Gently fold in the frozen blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the baked oatmeal to cool for a few minutes before digging in.
Microwave Instructions
Mix all your ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Be sure to use a larger bowl to prevent spillage.
Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power and the desired texture. Check and stir every minute to avoid overflow.
Once the oats are fully cooked and have reached your preferred consistency, remove them from the microwave.
Let the oats cool for a minute or two before enjoying. You can also add your favorite toppings like sliced bananas, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts.
