Description

A deliciously healthy treat packed with protein, perfect for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, protein powder, maple syrup (or honey), baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips or dried fruit if using.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, try adding an additional 1/2 cup of milk before baking.
  • You can also substitute the nuts with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
