A RECIPE NOT TO BE MISSED - BAKED PROTEIN OATS

An easy, versatile and healthy breakfast or snack

Over lockdown, I won’t lie to you; I have baked. My goodness me, I have baked so many things that my freezer is bursting. I only live with my partner and we both LOVE food, but even then it’s been a lot.
 
However, do you know what? I have LOVED every minute of it. Of course we will eat everything eventually but do you know one recipe that we didn’t need to freeze? THIS. ONE. RIGHT. HERE!
 
If you are looking for an easy, versatile and healthy breakfast then make sure you save this for later. These baked oats are so delicious, have a wonderful texture and THEY TASTE LIKE CAKE.
 
There are so many variations you can do with this recipe depending on what ‘flavour’ you would like best but for this one, I went for Raspberry, coconut and almond. I also added Eva's naked pea protein to transform these into ‘proats’ as I had not long finished a workout and it’s integral that I replenish my bod!

Let’s start. These are the list of ingredients that you will need based on 2 serves, so if you need more just double the quantity.

​Ingredients: 

• 1 x cup rolled oats or quick oats
• 1 x ripe banana
• 1 x egg
• 1 x spoon honey
• ½ x teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup of milk of choice
• 2 x spoon of nut butter. I used Fix and Fogg cashew butter (but crunchy PB works just as well)
• ½ x scoop protein powder of choice. I used Evas wellbeing pea protein
• 1 x sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)

 
Toppings:
½ cup raspberries
1/3 cup of slivered almonds
1/3 cup coconut. 

INSTRUCTIONS
 

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and get your ramekins ready.
• In a large bowl mash the peeled banana with a fork, and add the rest of the ingredients (except the nut butter) to the bowl and mix well.
• Next, add in half of each of the toppings and mix together.
• Spoon the batter into each ramekin until it is just under half full. Add a spoonful of peanut butter and spoon more batter on top of the peanut butter – this creates a gooey treat in the middle.
• Top with the remaining toppings and pop in the oven for 15 mins until the top starts to brown.
• When ready, leave to cool for a few minutes before enjoying!

The toppings are optional – choose your fav and be creative! Chocolate chips? Yes. Blueberries? Yes. Banana & white chocolate – anything works!

And... if you are planning to mix it up and make Chocolate oats? Easy! Just mix chocolate protein powder instead or use quality cacoa powder! 

This is truly one of the best breakfasts I have had in such a long time. I think because it's stress free and easy yet the reward of how delicious it is, is second to none!

What’s you go to topping? Let me know and of course if you make this be sure to send me the photos – I love seeing your creations!

Thanks!
