Mini Upside Down Fruity Steel Cut Oat “Cakes”

* This recipe requires standard steel cut oats to soak in water for 24 hours. Soak 1 cup of steel cut oats in a large bowl with 1 and 1/4 cups water for 24 hours. Does not need to be refrigerated. No draining of water is necessary.

The next day, preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the soaked steel cut oats in a medium-sized bowl and add the banana, egg, vanilla extract, Stevia and milk. Mix until incorporated. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the fruit) and mix to combine the mixture.

Spray 6 individual-sized ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. Place the fruit into the ramekins then evenly distribute the oat mixture on top of each fruit in the dish. If you want to, you can add some fruit on top of the oats so you can identify each.

Bake for 40-45 minutes. Then remove them from the oven and let the sit for 5 minutes. Then use a knife to loosen around the edges of the “cake”. Carefully with a spoon lift the cake out of the ramekin, flipping it over onto a plate or bowl. If desired you can top it with cream or light coconut milk or even some Greek yogurt!
