Chocolate Protein Baked Oatmeal – Breakfast Recipe
Getting up early and having a daily commute doesn’t allow much time for breakfast. So on Sundays I prep for the week by making healthy breakfasts and lunches ahead of time. Here’s the recipe I made today. I like to start my day with something nutritious and filling, so the protein and oats will take care of that. I will use a spoon to eat this baked oatmeal breakfast, but if you use less milk it could be handheld breakfast bars.
Chocolate Protein Baked Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed until smooth & creamy
- 1/3 cup peanut butter – creamy or chunky
- 2/3 cup nonfat milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups steel cut oats – half cooked (Let oats simmer for 10 minutes instead of 20 minutes)
- 2 TBSP flax seeds
- 2/3 cups chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix mashed banana & peanut butter until completely combined.
- Mix the milk and protein powder in a glass and pour into the bowl.
- Add in the half-cooked oats and the rest of the ingredients to the banana mixture and mix well.
- Pour batter into a well greased 13×9 in glass pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Let cool and then slice.
