Delicious Protein-Packed Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Serving Size: 9 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1 scoop (about 30g) of your favorite protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works well)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed

  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts)

  • Optional toppings: Greek yogurt, nut butter, extra fruit

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. Combine the mashed banana, milk, maple syrup or honey, egg, and vanilla extract in another bowl. Whisk until well combined.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the berries and chopped nuts.

  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. You can add more berries or nuts on top for extra flavor and crunch.

  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
