Are baked oats good for you?

I find them to be a satisfying, delicious meal that keeps me full. That said, whether they're good for you depends a lot on your personal nutritional needs. There are so many great ingredients in these protein baked oats - banana, peanut butter, oats, and protein, all great sources of nutrients!

How do you make protein oatmeal bakes?

• old fashioned oats - be sure to use old-fashioned oats to make sure that the texture comes out right.
• protein powder - you can use any protein powder you like. Be sure to use plant-based protein powder to keep this protein baked oats vegan!
• unsweetened cocoa powder - gives this protein baked oats chocolate flavor!
• baking powder - we'll use a little baking powder to give these oats a nice lift.
• maple syrup - I use maple syrup which keeps this baked oats vegan, but you can substitute another sweetener of your choice if you like.
• banana - your banana should be ripe -- the more ripe your banana is, the sweeter these oats will be.
• milk - I use almond milk, but feel free to use any plant milk or dairy milk you like.
• peanut butter - you can use peanut butter or another nut butter or seed butter of your choice. This step is optional but results in a rich, melty topping for our protein baked oatmeal for one!

Equipment Needed

First, you'll definitely need a blender or food processor for this protein baked oatmeal for one -- it helps break down the oats into a fine oat flour. That's how we'll get the soft cake-like texture we want! Then, you'll want an oven-safe ramekin with an 8-ounce capacity. You can also use an oven-safe mug, but depending on the shape of the mug it may increase the baking time for your single serve baked oatmeal.
