Chocolate Orange Blended Baked Oats
Author:Chocolate Orange Blended Baked Oats! Warm, cake-y, fudgy, and full of chocolate orange flavour. Just 7 ingredients and you can bake them in your oven or air fryer!
Ingredients
- zest from 1 large orange , such as navel
- ¼ cup (60 ml) orange juice (from the zested orange)
- 1 cup (100 grams) oats , (rolled, old fashioned or quick)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar , any type, maple syrup is also ok
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup (120 ml) dairy-free milk
- a big handful chocolate chips , or chunks
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C) and have 2 ramekins sitting ready on a small baking tray. Skip this step if using an air fryer.
- Before you zest the orange cut a nice slice from one end to save for decoration later. You'll probably need to cut a couple of slices off before you get through to a fleshy bit. Set aside for later.
- Zest the rest of the orange and add to your blender. Then cut the rest of the orange into quarters and squeeze out the juice. You need ¼ cup (60ml). There should be plenty but in the unlikely event you don't have quite enough make it up to ¼ cup with a little extra milk.
- Add the orange juice to the blender along with the oats, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and milk. Blend until smooth.
- Pour evenly between 2 ramekins. Poke some chocolate chips down into the batter with a clean finger.
- Cut the reserved slice of orange in half and rest a piece gently on top of the batter in each ramekin then decorate with some more chocolate chips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or place in an air fryer basket and air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes. They look done way before they are actually are so it's important to check with a toothpick, thin knife or skewer before removing. It should come out clean when stuck into the centre.
- Remove carefully and devour immediately.
NOTES
Blended baked oats should be eaten warm but if you make extra they reheat well. Store in the fridge and reheat in a microwave for 40 to 50 seconds, or in your oven or air fryer for about 10 minutes.
