Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 medium banana, mashed (or 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce)
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or soy)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Glaze: 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt mixed with 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish with a little oil or butter.
- In a blender, combine the oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until the oats look like a coarse flour.
- Add the mashed banana, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. If you want an extra cinnamon swirl, mix a tiny bit of cinnamon and maple syrup in a separate bowl and swirl it into the top of the batter with a toothpick.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The top should be firm to the touch and slightly golden.
- While the oats bake, stir together the Greek yogurt and maple syrup in a small bowl to create the glaze.
- Remove the oats from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the top while they are still warm so it seeps into the oats. Serve immediately.
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
