Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based alternative
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your baking dish or individual ramekins to ensure the baked oats do not stick.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, and baking powder. Whisk these together well to evenly distribute all dry components.
  3. Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth, then mix in your milk and vanilla extract. This mixture adds natural sweetness and moisture to the batter.
  4. Combine and Stir: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until fully combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer your mixture into the prepared dish and bake for around 25-30 minutes. The oats should firm up with a moist yet cakey texture when done.

Notes

  • Measure protein powder precisely to avoid dryness or dense texture.
  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better binding.
  • Check at 25 minutes with a toothpick to prevent overbaking and dryness.
  • Experiment with different protein powders to find your preferred taste and texture.
  • Add milk gradually to avoid a runny batter that affects baking time.
