Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder (vanilla flavor)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk of choice (e.g., cow's milk, almond milk)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large Banana, mashed
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mixed berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, mashed banana, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the mixed berries, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the oatmeal bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the microwave if desired.
