Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats 1 cup blended into flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup melted butter or coconut oil for a dairy-free option
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Mix Your Dry Goods: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, blended oat flour, baking powder, protein powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. This keeps it light and fluffy!
- Combine Your Wet Goods: In a separate bowl, whisk the unsweetened almond milk, eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option), pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract until smooth.
- Bring It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in most of the dark chocolate chips, saving a small handful for the top.
- Time to Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top for extra gooey goodness. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. It's delicious warm out of the oven or can be stored for a quick, healthy breakfast later!
