Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry components.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Protein Powder: Stir in the vanilla protein powder thoroughly to ensure it’s evenly incorporated throughout the batter.
  6. Add Fat: Mix in the melted coconut oil or unsalted butter until fully blended into the mixture.
  7. Fold in Optional Ingredients: If you choose to use raisins and chopped walnuts, fold them gently into the batter now to distribute them evenly.
  8. Pour Batter Into Dish: Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the baked oatmeal cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as cow’s milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and eggs with plant-based alternatives like coconut yogurt and flax eggs.
  • Optional add-ins such as raisins and walnuts can be swapped for other dried fruits or nuts based on preference.
  • To enhance the cinnamon roll flavor, adding a drizzle of cream cheese glaze on top after baking works wonderfully.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
