Recipe tips and substitutes
- Oats: Do not use steel-cut oats, You may use quick oats if you don’t have rolled oats. If you don’t have any oats, use 3/4 cup of white, wheat, or oat flour.
- Egg: There are egg substitutes out there that you can use to replace the egg. But other options that you may consider with ingredients you already have at home are flaxseed, yogurt, buttermilk, silken tofu, applesauce. replace 1 egg with 1/4 cup of all the above. If you are replacing it with flaxseed, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water.
- Milk: Any milk will work in this recipe.
- Nut butter: We used peanut butter, but you can use any nut butter like almond butter or cashew butter.
- Sweetener: We used maple syrup, but you can use honey or agave. If you want to use coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener it’s fine too.

Sharla Ali says
Oh wow this was so simple to make …. Didn’t have nut butter and I used silicone cupcake mounds and they came out perfectly ( Hubby approved )
A baker says
It looked good and smelled good but the consistency and flavor was very strange.
Christina says
I made this in my Tovala, in the little Tovala tins that the food they send out is made with. (I wash and keep any that aren’t destroyed by their first use lol) – 23ish minutes was perfect (because it isn’t as narrow as a ramekin). So good!
Sydney says
We accidentally blended the chocolate chips in. Do you know how that will affect the baking time/bake?
Rena says
It doesn’t. How was it?
Sydney says
They were delicious! My husband actually thinks he prefers them blended in. But the bake and the bake time were the same. Thanks!
Rena says
So glad you loved it. Yay.
Melody Malone says
It really good oatmeal chocolate chip casserole and this is my first time I bake this .

Irene says
the flavour is really good but the texture is quite sticky inside and unpleasant, why is that?
Rena says
Did you change anything with the recipe? I didn’t experience this
Diana Ostorga says
This sounds delicious! Is this 425k calories per serving?
Autumn Hanes says
Super yummy, I always make this as a safe food for myself! Is it 425 calories PER SERVING or for the entire recipe though? I try to track my calories to make sure I get enough but with this I’m unclear
Abigail Rodriguez says
Can we use something other then banana….not a big fan of the taste
Rena says
Yes. You can use pumpkin puree
RH says
How much, though?
Rena says
should be about 1/3 cup which is equivalent to 1 mashed banana
Avery says
Hi! I’ve tried this recipe in the oven and it came out great! But I’m wondering if I can cook this in an air fryer? And if so, how long?
Rena says
Hi. I’ve never tried the air fryer so I am not sure.
T says
I did it in the air fryer and dropped the temperature down to 350 for about 15/20 minutes. Made 3 ramekins and it was so good. Crispy top because I added walnuts on top with a soft moist inside.
Nicola Walker says
What size ramekins please?
Rena says
Hi. I just measured it. it’s 4.5 inch
Moose says
I got a question, is this 425 a serving or 425 cal per serving?? Just curious, it’s delicious btw
Rena says
It’s per serving. Thank you.
Chloe says
Can you freeze this recipe prior to baking?
Rena says
Hi there,
I haven’t tried it and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Eleanor says
Can you make this in the microwave like a mug cake?
Rena says
Hi. Try a smaller amount first. I think it should be fine but I honestly haven’t tested it
Roula Haddad says
Super yummmy, first time cakes works with me, i reduced the amount of syrup, but here i added chocolate syrup and it works and gave it a sweet taste, thank you so much
Rena says
Thanks, Roula. Glad this worked for you and you loved it.
Jamie Ross says
What size ramekin did you use? I want to try but need one of those first!!
Thanks
anonymous says
do you have to blend the mixture or can you just put it into the oven as is?
Rena says
Hi. Blending gives a much better “cakelike” texture. You may use your hand to mash and mix and maybe use oat flour.
Shelly says
I don’t have any ramekins ! Am I make it in an 8×8 pan & how long would I bake it for?
Thank you
Rena says
Yes, check it in 15 minutes with a tooth pick
Meaghan says
Is the nutritional information for 1 serving size (1 ramekin) or both?
Rena says
Hi there. One Ramekin is one serving
Theresa says
Do you have to use nut butter?
Rena says
Hi. You can skip the nut butter
Isabelle says
Is the amount of calories for half the recipe or the entire recipe???
Rena says
Hi. The recipe makes 2. The calories is for one ramekin and its a decent size.

Can you use pumpkin? If so how much?
Rena says
Yes. use 1/2 cup

Are the nutrition facts for one serving or the whole recipe?

It’s already baking and I just realized the recipe called for 1/2 cup milk, but I added 1 cup 🙁 how is it going to come out?
Rena says
Maybe too crumbly? let me know?
