Ingredients

For the baked oats:

  • 240g oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 90g whey protein powder
  • 150ml milk (usually a bit more is needed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 40g walnuts, crushed
  • Vanilla flavoring (or vanilla extract)

For the topping:

  • Vanilla yoghurt or protein yoghurt or anything you like

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. In a large bowl, mix the oats, cinnamon, mashed bananas, grated carrot, whey protein powder, milk, baking powder, crushed walnuts, and vanilla flavoring.

  3. Mix well until fully combined. If the batter seems too thick, add a little extra milk.

  4. Pour the mixture into an oven dish.

  5. Bake for 15 minutes, then let it cool.

  6. Serve the baked oats with the yoghurt.

Tips

  • This makes about 5-6 servings, great for meal prep during the week.
  • Instead of sweetener, a bit of vanilla extract works nicely too.
