Protein Baked Oats Without Banana
Protein baked oats taste like you're eating cake for breakfast, while making a nourishing, satiated breakfast! Most baked oat recipes are made with bananas, but I wanted to create a version made without them. Top your oats with some coconut or greek yogurt and fresh berries and this healthy breakfast is ready to go! If you want to make more, simply double the recipe and add to separate ramekins!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats *I recommend organic
- 3 tbsp of your favorite protein powder *See notes!
- 1 tbsp almond butter *or cashew or sunflower butter
- 1/2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 egg
- 5 tbsp milk, of choice *I use plant-based milk
- 1-1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon *optional
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease a ramekin or small glass tupperware container (or something similar).
- Add all of the ingredients to your blender. I like to add the milk first, to keep the oats from sticking to the bottom of the blender. Blend a few minutes until super smooth.
- Pour the batter into your ramekin. Bake for 16-20 minutes, time will vary depending on your oven. You may need to bake yours a few minutes extra. It should feel set, but you don't want to over-bake it or it'll turn out more dry and dense. It's okay if it's slightly under-baked (as long as it's not gooey to touch in the center. It should be set).
- Top with yogurt and fresh berries and enjoy!
Notes
*I use plant-based protein powder. I think whey or other animal-based protein powders should also work. I haven't tried using collagen and know the texture of collagen isn't as dense as a protein powder, but I think it should also work.
