Tried this recipe for healthy baked oats for breakfast today and really enjoyed it. This version uses vanilla protein powder, banana, and I added cinnamon chips to it, but I am sure you can change it up as much as you like. As is, it has about 32 grams of protein.
Baked Oats Breakfast Square
Ingredients:
- 55 g rolled oats (1/2 cup), processed in a blender into oat flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 30 g vanilla whey protein powder (1 scoop)
- 130 ml of milk (about 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbl.)
- 1 ripe banana (or 1/2 cup applesauce)
- inclusions of your choice
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 4x4 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Place your oats in a blender and process into a flour (if you haven't already done so).
- Add the rest of your ingredients and blend just until combined.
- Pour into greased baking dish, add any desired inclusions, and bake for around 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Marsha's Notes:
You could change up the flavors of this with different kinds of protein powder, different inclusions, and probably by using other things besides a banana, like pumpkin, applesauce, or peaches. Here is a chocolate looking one I saw on the Internet, plus I have seen ones with white chocolate and raspberries that looked really good.
