Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (192 grams)
- 2 scoops protein powder (76 grams)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (2 grams)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (8 oz)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (163 grams)
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup (1.5 oz)
- 2 tbsp Skippy Natural Peanut Butter (32 grams)
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Fruits
- 2/3 cup strawberries, chopped (100 grams)
- 2/3 cup blueberries (100 grams)
- 2/3 cup raspberries (85 grams)
Optional Topping
- Almond slivers for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×11 inch baking dish generously with coconut oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, peanut butter, egg, egg white, and vanilla bean paste. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, then fold in the chopped strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries evenly.
- Transfer and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If using almond slivers, press them gently into the top halfway through the baking time. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the baked oatmeal to cool before cutting it into 6 pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature for a hearty and nutritious breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of choice, such as oat or dairy milk.
- Protein powder can be substituted with your preferred type, such as whey or plant-based.
- For added texture and flavor, consider sprinkling additional nuts or seeds on top before baking.
- The baked oatmeal keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
- Optional sweeteners like honey or agave can be used instead of maple syrup.
- Almond slivers added halfway through baking will toast nicely, adding crunch.
