Protein Baked Oatmeal With Chocolate
This protein baked oatmeal is fluffy, moist, and tastes just like cake! Start your day with this chocolatey bowl of fiber and protein, because it will help keep you full throughout the morning.
Who doesn’t love baked goods for breakfast? I’m talking about muffins, donuts, croissants, pastries, and cinnamon rolls. So, why not enjoy a warm slice of cake?
In all seriousness, this protein baked oatmeal tastes just like cake. The only difference is that it’s not filled with tons of added sugar. It all starts with oat flour, plus a handful of ingredients to create a moist consistency.
That means you can leave that plain bowl of oatmeal behind. All it takes is about 20 minutes of cooking to make the sweetest and healthiest bowl of oats you’ve ever had.
Protein Baked Oatmeal Ingredients
You can either use oat flour, or blend the oats yourself for this recipe. I like the latter option, because it saves more money in the long run. Oat flour can get expensive!
- ½ cup oats
- 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp sweetener
- ¼ cup egg whites
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional)
Supplies You Need
Making this protein baked oatmeal is super easy. Of course you’ll need an oven and about 20 minutes of cooking time. A blender and oven safe dish are also required.
The following sizes are required for measuring the ingredients in this recipe: ½ tsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, ¼ cup, ½ cup, and ¾ cup. I always recommend using a food scale when measuring ingredients to make things easier.
How to Make Protein Baked Oatmeal
Begin by adding oats, powdered peanut butter, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla extract, sweetener, egg whites, and Greek yogurt to a blender or food processor.
It helps to have a high quality machine, so all of the ingredients get blended evenly. If you already have oat flour, add everything to a large mixing bowl instead.
Once everything is blended, transfer the mixture to an oven safe dish. Then place the oats in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350° F. Because we’re using pasteurized egg whites, you don’t need to worry about undercooking.
Remove your dish from the oven and allow the protein baked oats to cool down before eating. Try adding 1 tbsp of chocolate chips for a rich, chocolatey topping.
