Commentary

This is my first attempt at adapting an oatmeal bake recipe for the Ninja Speedi.  I am using a CasaWare 7-Inch Toaster Oven Ultimate Series Commercial Weight Ceramic Non-Stick Coating Square Pan (link).  I was a bit worried that it might not leave enough steaming/baking space at the sides, but that turned out to be a non-issue.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of water for steaming
• 1.5 cups (120 g) old fashioned oats
• 1.5 scoops (45 g) vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 tsp (2 g) baking powder
• 2 tbsp (10 g) cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp (21 g) maple syrup
• 1.5 tsp (7 g) butter
• 1 whole egg
• 1 cup (240 g) milk
• 1/2 cup (113 g) unsweetened apple sauce
• 2 tbsp (56 g) mini chocolate chips

Method

1. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
2. Add in the egg, milk, syrup, melted butter, apple sauce, and 1 tbsp of chocolate chips.
3. Spray a 7x7 baking pan with neutral oil and add the oat mixture.
4. Top with 1 tbsp of chocolate chips.
5. Add water to the pot.  Place the crisper tray in the lower position.  Place the pan on the crisper tray.
6. Set the Ninja Speedi for 10 minutes at 315°F on the "steam and bake" setting.  It will steam for about 20 minutes before baking.  Press start.
7. This recipe makes 4 servings. Cut the oatmeal into 4 equal pieces.

Experiments

2023-07-02:  I basically cut off the baking at 11:30 out of 17 minutes, which left the top a bit dryer than I like.  Next time I should try just 10 minutes of baking,

2023-07-07:  Tried 10 minutes at 315°F on the "steam and bake" setting.   That was perfect:  cooked all the way through and still moist, and the top was not dried out.
