Description

This High Protein Baked Oatmeal is flavored with banana, peanut butter and chocolate chips. The batter comes together quickly, in one bowl and you can bake it in a large baking dish or in a muffin tin, for easy snacking. A large slice is packed with about 26 grams of protein and can be served chilled or heated up. Top with greek yogurt and you’ve got yourself a healthy and nutritious breakfast that can easily be prepped ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 extra ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain soy milk, or milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, or sticky sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 heaping tablespoon ground flax
  • 2–4 scoops protein powder of choice*
  • 4 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Heat oven too 375 degrees F.  Grease a large baking dish and set aside.  I used a 9×13 sized baking dish, but you could also use a standard sized muffin tin if you want to make baked oatmeal cups.
  2. Add the bananas to a large bowl and mash them well with a fork, or potato masher. Next, add the milk, peanut butter, eggs, maple syrup, coconut sugar, flax seed, vanilla extract and protein powder. Whisk everything together until combined, and then add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix again and then let sit for about 5-10 minutes, until the oats have soaked up some of the liquid.
  3. Add in the chocolate chips and stir until combined.  Pour the oatmeal mixture into the greased baking dish and make sure the top is spread mostly flat.  Sprinkle on the remaining chocolate chips, evenly, and place the oatmeal bake in the oven.  Bake until the top is firm and the edges are starting to brown, 45-50 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting.  This high protein baked oatmeal can be served chilled or heated up.  Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional information is based on the protein powder that I used, which has 27 grams per 2 scoops of protein powder.  I used 4 scoops in this recipe but I have also made it with just 2 scoops and it worked great.
