Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)

  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1/2 banana, mashed

  • 1/3 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

  • 1 egg or flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water)

  • 1 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped nuts

Toppings (optional but recommended):

  • Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt

  • Fresh fruit

  • Peanut butter or almond butter

  • Extra maple syrup


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking.
    (Or microwave for a quicker version—see below.)

  • In a mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  • Add mashed banana, milk, egg (or flax egg), maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Fold in any mix-ins.

  • Pour into a greased or nonstick oven-safe bowl or ramekin.

  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
    Microwave option: Cook on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave power.

 

  • Let cool slightly, then add toppings and dig in!

Notes

  • Use oat flour for a smoother texture or keep rolled oats for a heartier feel.

  • Great for meal prep—make a few and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • For more calories, double the nut butter or add full-fat yogurt on top.
