Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a blender or food processor, combine 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup oat milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, 1/4 tsp salt, and chocolate chips.

Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, ensuring the oats break down to form a flour-like consistency.

Pour about half of the batter into a mug.

Create a well in the center of the batter and add 1 tbsp almond butter.

Sprinkle some chocolate chips on top of the almond butter.

Pour the remaining batter over the almond butter and top with more chocolate chips.

Place the mug in the oven and bake for about 23 minutes, until the edges are cake-like and the center is gooey but not runny.

Remove from the oven and enjoy while hot, optionally drizzling with more almond butter or peanut butter.
