Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add rolled oats, milk, banana, maple syrup or honey, nut or seed butter, vanilla, and baking powder to a blender or food processor.

Sprinkle desired add-ins (see measurements in note) directly into each ramekin and thoroughly mix until combined. Feel free to mix and match different add-ins for each ramekin.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Top as desired and enjoy warm.
