Sunday breakfast is pretty much the thing I most look forward to the entire week. Well, besides the sleeping in part that coincides with them. Sleep might actually be my favorite thing about life in general, but Sunday breakfast is right behind it.
It’s lazy, unrushed and I try and make it a point to never have the same thing twice. Hence why there are quite a few breakfast recipes on here.
Welcome to the newest concoction.
If you like banana bread, chocolate chip and/or oatmeal cookies, you will like this. And if there are actually people out there who don’t like one of those things, my world has just been turned upside down.
The best part of course is that it’s a pretty healthy version of those three desserts. Considering I spent my Saturday night at Dick’s buying clearance spandex shorts (like the short, short ones) that’s a good thing.
And considering I spent the rest of my Saturday night at Harbor Freight Tools, Ulysses is lucky I’m sharing this with him.
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons spelt flour
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla whey protein powder (*optional)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cacao nibs
- ½ small banana, mashed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons liquid egg whites
- 1½ tablespoons milk
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an oven safe ramekin.
- Combine dry ingredients (oats through cacao nibs in a small bowl).
- Combine remaining wet ingredients in another small bowl and mash/whisk together.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until combined.
- Pour batter into ramekin and bake for about 20 minutes until fully cooked.

This looks good! I might make that for breakfast tomorrow. Did you top it with anything?
I topped it with cookie butter and strawberries, but almond butter would be a delicious (and slightly healthier) choice
I know people who hate bananas, but love banana bread. You know, I don’t know if I actually know anyone who doesn’t like banana bread…
This looks great, perfect for a lazy relaxed Sunday morning.
Banana and Chocolate is just a winning combo, yum!
This looks good! Needs some peanut butter on top
How about cookie butter? That’s what I did
Yum! That looks so good!!!! I love banana and chocolate together, great combination!!
yippie yippie yum yum! quick question, though. What kind of protein powder do you use?!?! Whenever I try adding it to “bakes” they get super spongy and dry!
I use Designer Whey and while I know people say protein powder does that to baked stuff, I’ve never had that experience with this brand! And the bonus is that I can get it in my normal grocery store and it’s cheap! (as far as protein powders go)
yum. i wish i would’ve read this BEFORE i ate breakfast… this will definitely be one of my breakfasts this week though!
I, too, love slow and lazy Sundays. I take my sweet time thinking of what to make for breakfast and make lists of what I want to do for the day or the week, mostly includes a lot of baking and cooking. This bake will have to go on my list, I would like to make this as a warm dessert after dinner.
This looks great, and I LOVE the baking dish! Individual bakers are always so cute…
I love making banana/oat bakes but I am a cheater and use the microwave
Yours is gorgeous and cute orange baking dish!
I love the serving dish. I also love that it’s one serving because I wouldn’t want to share
That looks like a pretty delicious way to start the day!
This looks amazing! And I like that I have pretty much all of the ingredients. Breakfast tomorrow morning? I think so!
Oh myyy you just combined so many tasty things in one! I can’t wait to make this
(I also can’t wait to use my ramekin for the second time EVER!)
Oh. My. Goodness. This is genius!! I’m definitely making this this week!!
This looks amazing Gina! Definitely pinning/bookmarking this one so I can make it soon.
This looks amazing! I love oatmeal in the mornings, and this is a great alternative!
I love Sunday breakfasts too
Adding this one to my rotation…I try not to repeat as well!
You tricked me lol
It looks like cookie dough for breakfast!
I’m aware that this is so not the point, but I LOVE your dishes. And this one is amazing! There should be a dish swap for (food)bloggers so you get to have photos with new dishes.
Could I use white/wheat flour instead? I don’t have the spelt or almond flour.
Kelly- I think that would sub fine for the spelt. If you don’t have almond flour, it’s just ground up almonds so would it be possible to make your own? I’m not sure how it would turn out if you use white/wheat exclusively. I wouldn’t use 100% whole wheat unless it’s ww pastry otherwise it will probably turn out too gritty and dry.
I don’t think there can possibly be any better combination than you’ve created here. I’m going to have to surprise my roomies with breakfast sometime this week.
Looks delicious! Definitely pinning this one to try soon. Always looking for more breakfast options. Oatmeal gets a little old.
Oh my word. This looks unbelievably good! 5 stars!
