Protein Baked Oats is a nutritious and protein-packed breakfast dish made with old-fashioned oatmeal, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Perfect for meal prep and indulgent mornings!

Ingredients

For the Oatmeal:

  • 1 ¾ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 3 large eggs, brought to room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed overripe bananas
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup peanut butter powder
  • ½ cup vanilla or unsweetened protein powder (or collagen powder)
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or blueberries)

Optional Drizzle Toppings:

  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons melted coconut oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, peanut butter, and maple syrup until combined.
  3. Add the oats, salt, peanut butter powder, and protein powder. Whisk until the clumps of peanut butter powder are dissolved.
  4. Pour the oatmeal batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes until the baked oatmeal doesn’t jiggle in the center and bubbles rapidly around the edges. Move to a wire rack.
  5. Make the Optional Drizzle Toppings: In a small mixing bowl, whisk the remaining natural peanut butter with 1 teaspoon of melted coconut oil until smooth. Melt the chocolate chips with ¼ teaspoon coconut oil in the microwave on 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals until smooth. Drizzle the peanut butter and the chocolate over the baked oatmeal while still hot. Serve!
