Protein Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup vanilla pea protein

  • 1/4 cup collagen

  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup + 1/3 cups coconut milk

  • 1 grated apple

  • 1 mashed banana

  • Optional; 1 grated carrot, 1/2 grated zucchini

  • To top; fresh sliced strawberries, fresh or frozen blueberries

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees FF and coat a 21x21cm baking dish with oil or line with parchment paper

  2. Add dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine

  3. Add wet ingredients to another bowl and mix well, including the fruit & veggies

  4. Tip wet into dry and stir to combine. Pour into your prepared dish. Top with sliced strawberries or blueberries

  5. Optional; leave to soak on the counter for 1 to 5 hours. This isn’t essential but I do like to do it if I have the time to increase nutrient availability and reduce the phytic acid load

  6. Cook in the oven for 1 hour, rotating your dish half way through. Let cool completely before slicing

 
 

Recipe notes:

  • If the top is starting to brown early, you can place parchment paper over the top

  • Ensure you don’t slice these oats until they are completely cool. This is very important as they continue to cook whilst coming to room temperature

  • Therefore, if you cook this late at night, I suggest leaving the oats in your (off) oven and slicing the following morning

  • I personally cut this into 6 portions and add yoghurt and berries to make a complete meal, as per second side

  • You can share this with your little ones, just be mindful of the ingredients in your chosen protein powder and if you’re comfortable sharing this with them. I give Pearl (currently 18 months) bites of mine or slices to snack on but don’t give her this for a full meal

  • This isn’t an overly sweet oatmeal, add 3 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup if you would like it to be. You can also use 3 drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit for sugar free

  • Store in the fridge and eat within 4 days

  • Freezes & defrosts beautifully! Transfer a slice to the fridge overnight to do so. Can be reheated in the oven or a microwave
