Chocolate Protein Baked Oats

These chocolate protein baked oats are a must try if you’ve got a sweet tooth but still wanna hit your health and fitness goals.

Not only are these so yummy, but they’re SO easy to make. Just throw everything into a blender and bake!

What You’ll Need

Equipment

• 8×8 baking dish
• Blender: I love my Vitamix.

Ingredients

• Ripe bananas: The more ripe the bananas, the sweeter the oats.
• Fat free milk: Or milk of choice.
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract: I use imitation vanilla.
• Whole grain oats
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Chocolate protein powder: *See protein powder section below.
• Ground flaxseed: Or chia seeds.
• Cinnamon
• Salt
• Baking powder
• Sweetener of choice: I use Truvia.
• Chocolate chips: I love Lily’s chocolate chips.

How To Make Them

1. Preheat oven and prep pan: Preheat oven to 375 F, then line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray (cause nothing is worse than scraping baked oats off your pan).
2. Blend wet ingredients: To a large blender, add bananas, milk, eggs and vanilla and blend on low speed for 5-10 seconds until just combined.
3. Add the dry ingredients: Add oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, flaxseed, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and sweetener to the same blender and blend for another 5-10 seconds on low speed until just combined (don’t over-blend!).
4. Bake: Pour the batter into the lined baking dish, making sure to get all that goodness outta there with a spoon or spatula. Top with chocolate chips and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes and enjoy! I top mine off with some vanilla greek yogurt and chocolate syrup for good measure.

Protein Powder

• Whey + casein: The best protein powder for baking is a whey/casein blend. It results in a more even texture and doesn’t dry out as much as 100% whey. I love the  PEScience chocolate cupcake protein.

To Store

Once cooled, cover leftover baked oats tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge up to 4 days. Enjoy chilled or warmed in the microwave.
