Ingredients and Substitutions

Oats: Rolled oats work best for texture; quick oats are fine, but softer.

Egg: Binds the ingredients and adds protein. Flax eggs work as an alternative.

Milk: Any milk will do, but unsweetened varieties control sweetness.

Greek Yogurt: Adds creaminess and protein. Use plain or vanilla.

Honey: Sweetens naturally; swap with maple syrup or leave out if using sweetened protein powder.

Banana: Naturally sweetens and helps bind the ingredients. Use a ripe banana.

Protein Powder: Chocolate or vanilla works best for flavor. Adjust the sweetness based on your protein.

Baking Powder: Ensures the oats rise and stay fluffy.

Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth to the flavor.

Cocoa Powder: Use unsweetened cocoa for the best chocolate taste.

Chocolate Chips: Optional, but great for added texture and extra chocolate.

How to Make Chocolate Protein Baked Oats

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a ramekin or oven-safe bowl to prevent sticking.

2. Blending

Combine oats, egg, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, mashed banana, protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Pouring

Pour the batter into the greased ramekin. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top for that melty goodness.

4. Baking

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Serving

Let it cool for a few minutes, then dig in! Add more yogurt, nut butter, or berries for extra flavor
