Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round cake pan greased
  • 1 mixing bowl large
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Ensure the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated and no dry patches remain.
  • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the oatmeal for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Once cooled, slice into 8 wedges for serving.

Serving

  • Serve the baked oatmeal warm, topped with fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of additional honey if desired.

Storage

  • Store any leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for a quick breakfast option.
