Chocolate Orange Blended Baked Oats

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the orange juice to the blender along with the oats, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and milk. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Pour evenly between 2 ramekins. Poke some chocolate chips down into the batter with a clean finger.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove carefully and devour immediately.
