Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
Add the oats, baking powder, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender and blend until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into a ramekin or divide it among the wells of a muffin tin. Any oven-safe dish will work, as long as the batter fills no more than 3/4 of the dish (the batter will rise and expand in the oven). Top with chocolate chips, if using.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the center of the cake is set and no longer jiggly.
