Cookie Dough Baked Oats

Baked oatmeal has taken over social media, and with good reason! Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a healthier breakfast with a cake like texture and taste?

When I first heard of this trend I thought for once, I was already ahead of it. I’ve been eating baked oats for years! Little did I know, these baked oats offered a fun twist on the classic by using oat flour rather than whole oats. By swapping one for the other, the entire dish changed, and baked oats transformed into a delicious & delicate breakfast treat.

Not only are baked oats delicious, but they’re also very versatile. Chocolate chips not sounding good, try adding fresh berries or maybe even nuts instead! Use the following nine ingredients as the base, and get as creative as you would like from there:

Unsweetened almond milk
Ripe banana
Rolled oats
Baking powder
Egg
Maple syrup (or sweetener of chocie)
Vanilla
Cinnamon
Salt

Nutritionally, a single serving clocks in just under 350 calories and contains almost 15 grams of protein. If looking for a lower carb and higher protein option, pair 1/2 of the baked oatmeal with 2 scrambled eggs (305 calories, 22 grams of carbs & 28 grams of protein)!
