Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 medium bananas; 1 egg; 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk (any type); 1 cup (100 g) oatmeal; 1 teaspoon baking powder; Pinch of salt; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/3 cup (30 g) walnuts, chopped; 2 additional bananas; 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder; Fresh strawberries

Directions

1. Step

Peel 2 medium bananas and mash them in a bowl using a fork or slotted spoon. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, 1 egg, and 1/3 cup (80 ml) of milk. Mix well with a hand mixer or whisk. Add 1 cup (100 g) of oatmeal, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly.

2. Step

Chop 1/3 cup (30 g) of walnuts into small pieces and fold them into the mixture using a spoon.

3. Step

Lightly grease the inside of 4 microwave-safe mugs with a bit of oil. Divide the mixture evenly between the mugs. Bake in a preheated oven at 360°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Step

Peel and mash the remaining 2 bananas in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Once the baked oatmeal is done and slightly cooled, remove it from the mugs. Spread the banana-cocoa mixture on top and garnish with fresh strawberries.
