A quick, easy, and wholesome baked oats recipe with mocha flavor and protein boost, perfect for a healthy summer breakfast that keeps you energized and satisfied.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (45g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (40g) dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish or individual ramekins.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Fold in dark chocolate chips if using.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or ramekins and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set and slightly golden, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the baked oats cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats will not hold shape well. Use vanilla-flavored protein powder with smooth texture to avoid chalkiness. Do not overmix batter to keep oats light. Cover with foil if top browns too fast. For vegan version, replace egg with flax egg and use plant-based protein and non-dairy milk. Can add nuts or berries for variation.
