Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups quick oats
- ½ cup protein powder I used vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup milk at room temperature. I used almond milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½-1 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, maple syrup, eggs, cooled coconut oil, and vanilla. Pour this into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Mix in the chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the mixture into the pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center of the baked oats is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow the oatmeal to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality protein- I can't stress this enough, if you use a gross-tasting protein powder, you will get gross-tasting protein oatmeal. Find a protein powder you enjoy! I love this vanilla protein by Driven Nutrition.
- Don't overbake- overbaking can lead to dry oats. Make sure they are done in the middle and then remove them from the oven!
- Top them with your fav berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or melted peanut butter!
