Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp granola butter or nut butter of choice (Code COOKINGKATIE for a discount on Oat Haus Granola Butter)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 10-12 oz. oven-safe ramekin with nonstick spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a small blender, such as a Ninja Nutribullet, combine the oats, protein powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg, granola butter, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Pour Mixture into Ramekin: Transfer your blended oat mixture into the prepared ramekin, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
  4. Bake the Oats: Place the ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the oats are fully cooked.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with additional granola butter or any preferred toppings before enjoying your warm, protein-packed baked oats.

Notes

  • You can substitute the granola butter with any nut butter if desired.
  • Using unsweetened almond milk helps keep the sugar content low.
  • Protein powder type can be vanilla-flavored for enhanced sugar cookie taste.
  • Ensure to use an oven-safe ramekin for baking.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives, but texture may vary.
