Easy Microwave Breakfast Cake (Berry Coffee Cake Version + more!) (sugar-free, made with oatmeal)

This is a breakfast that takes 6 minutes max , with 3 simple base ingredients; 1 banana, 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, and an egg; its the perfect college breakfast(which is why I have 99% of the time)


I mean who can resist that hot, steamy, delicousness? And with such an easy base you can alter it a million ways so you never get bored. You can even make this in a mug if you want.




 Ingredients:

For any version(a moist banana bread), the base...
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats (you can use 1/4 cup steel cut if you soak it overnight)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ripe banana(the riper the sweeter)
Directions:
  1. In a bowl (grease if you want it to come out like above) mash the banana, then add the egg, mix well, stir in the oats, (plus a splash of milk/water if plain)* and zap in the microwave for 5-6 minutes (until center is cooked through) and enjoy! **
-you can also bake this at 350F for 30minutes or until egg is cooked through, and just get ready in the morning while its baking:)

*now add your add ins, whatever liquid you choose should be enough to make the batter more cake like than cookie like
**I like to top mine with greek yogurt and more berries, other ideas are milk, coffee or peanut butter
