Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)

½ cup Greek yogurt

½ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

¼ cup maple syrup

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: Chopped walnuts or pecans for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well mixed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top for added crunch and flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the baked oatmeal cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, drizzle extra maple syrup over the baked oatmeal before serving or add a little more to the batter.
  • For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or coconut milk and a non-dairy yogurt substitute.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, use rolled oats rather than quick oats.
