Name: Single Serve Protein Baked Oats from the Pantry
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: ½ banana; ½ cup old fashioned oats; ½ cup milk of choice; 1 tablespoon chia seeds; 2 tablespoon protein powder (you can use a full scoop as desired but I found that it made the oats only a little too gritty for my liking); 1/3-1/2 cups frozen berries; Shredded coconut for topping optional

This Single Serve Protein Baked Oats is dependable for speedy and unfussy breakfasts when you want to get a little extra protein into your day! I like to pop it in the oven while I’m working out at home and then it’s baked and cooled simply in time for me to be ready to enjoy it!

I’ve been teasing these Protein Baked Oats on Instagram for WEEKS now because I am quite obsessed with this dish! It’s especially simple to make and you make it right inside of the ramekin. Which means minimal dishes- WIN WIN!

I tested this with so many different kinds of protein powder and my regular one ended up being a simple vanilla flavored protein. The problem I found with many of the protein powders is that they’re all SO sweet and it genuinely threw off the flavor of the oats.

So I certainly recommend finding a plain/ vanilla protein powder to use in this dish.

This dish is quite similar to my original Baked Oatmeal recipe that I published a couple of years ago. That video got millions of views on Instagram and is still one of my regular recipes to this day!

Ingredients in this simple protein oats:

Old fashioned oats
Banana (simply half of one!)
Protein powder of choice (again- I surely recommend using a plain or vanilla flavored only)
Chia seeds
Milk of choice (or even water works ok)
Frozen fruit of choice for topping

To make it, you simply mash the banana directly in the dish you’re baking it in. Then mix in the remaining ingredients and top with the berries and optional coconut. From there all you have to do is wait 20 minutes for it to bake in the oven!

I like to pop this in the oven before I start my home workout. I set a timer and take a short break to get it out of the oven and then it cools while I finish my workout. The timing of it all work out perfectly!
