# Ingredient List:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
02 - 1 large egg
03 - ½ cup unsweetened milk of choice
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
05 - ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
06 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
07 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
08 - Pinch of salt
→ Cinnamon Swirl
09 - 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 - 1 teaspoon melted butter or coconut oil
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-10 ounce single-serving ramekin with cooking spray or butter.
02 - In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the banana. Whisk in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Add the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined with no dry pockets remaining.
04 - Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin and smooth the surface with a spatula.
05 - In a small bowl, combine the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter, stirring until a paste forms.
06 - Distribute the cinnamon mixture in small dollops across the surface of the batter. Using a knife or skewer, gently drag through the mixture to create decorative swirls.
07 - Bake for 22-25 minutes until the center is just set and the top achieves a golden-brown color.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with Greek yogurt, banana slices, or nut butter drizzle.
