Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until thick and creamy.
Fold in the berries (no need to thaw if using frozen).
Spread batter evenly in the baking dish. Add nuts on top if using.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and edges are golden. A toothpick should come out mostly clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm as-is or with a drizzle of nut butter.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I use frozen berries for this recipe?

Yes, frozen berries work perfectly—no need to thaw them first.

What type of protein powder works best?

Vanilla whey, plant-based, or casein protein all work, though sweetness and texture may vary.

Can I make this bake without protein powder?

Yes, just add 2–3 extra tablespoons of oats and a little extra sweetener if desired.

How can I make it dairy-free?

Use plant-based yogurt and a vegan protein powder.

Why is my bake too soft in the middle?

It may need an extra 5 minutes of baking. Also, frozen berries can release liquid, so allow time to cool and set.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, bake in a 9×13-inch pan for 40–45 minutes.

What can I use instead of honey or maple syrup?

Mashed ripe bananas or date syrup both work well.

Absolutely—it tastes great chilled straight from the fridge.

How do I make it sweeter without sugar?

Add extra fruit like ripe bananas or a few chopped dates.

Can I meal prep this for the week?
