Ingredients

Baked Oats

  • 3/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp granulated monk fruit or sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1.5 tbsp protein powder
  • 2 tsp sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 cup blueberries warmed on stove or microwave

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease two small ramekins.
  • In a blender, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, protein powder, egg, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the batter into a bowl and gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared ramekins. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden.
  • While the oats bake, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, protein powder, and sweetener in a small bowl. Heat the 1/4 cup of blueberries on the stovetop or in the microwave until they’re soft and syrupy.
  • Once the baked oats are ready, spread the Greek yogurt mixture on top of each ramekin, drizzle with the warmed blueberries and garnish with lemon zest!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Wrap individually with plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Microwave for 30-45 seconds or enjoy them cold.
