Nutritional values per serving
ZUTATEN
- 75 ml plant-based milk alternative
- 50 g oats
-
15 g
- 1 preferably ripe banana
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 0.5 tsp (cream of tartar*) baking powder
- a little oil for the baking dish
- Toppings (optional): chocolate chips, berries, or nuts are the perfect combo for this baked oats recipe – you’ll find more inspiration later in the recipe!
- Notes: Missing an ingredient? No problem! Further down you’ll find a substitution table with alternatives to the ingredients listed here!
- If your bananas aren’t super ripe yet (you can tell by the increasingly brown peel), your batter might not taste sweet enough – just add a little more maple syrup or another sweetener.
- Tip for the adventurous: by using other protein powders like banana or cinnamon, you can create entirely new flavors of this baked oats recipe!
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat).
Grease your baking dish with oil or line it with baking paper.
Now add all the ingredients to a blender, one by one, and blend for about 2-3 minutes until you have a smooth batter. It’s best to start with the wet ingredients to make it easier for your blender.
Pour your batter into the baking dish, spread it evenly, and smooth it out as much as possible – don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Decorate your baked oats with your toppings.
That’s almost it: bake the oats for about 25 minutes. To check if your baked oats are done, use the classic toothpick test: insert a wooden skewer into the oats – if a lot of batter still sticks, they need more time; if it comes out clean, they’re ready and can be enjoyed after a short cooling time!
Tip: if your baked oatmeal starts browning on top before the baking time is up, you can cover it with some aluminum foil.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I replace or omit the protein powder in the baked oats recipe?
Yes, check our substitution table. You can easily replace it with flour. But beware: then your protein baked oats will become regular baked porridge and won’t contain the extra protein boost.
Why use protein powder in the batter?
Protein powder not only makes your baked oats more filling but also provides an extra portion of high-quality protein. This helps keep your energy levels stable and optimally supports your muscle metabolism.
How do I best store baked porridge?
Our baked porridge tastes best fresh! But if you want to store it, keep it airtight in the fridge for 2-3 days. Alternatively, you can also freeze it! This way, you’ll have a nutrient-rich breakfast ready in just a few minutes in the morning.
Does heating damage the protein powder?
No, you can safely heat your baked oats with our protein powder. The proteins are not lost, and you’ll still benefit from the good qualities of the protein powder. We even often recommend using our protein powder for baking to easily increase the protein content of a meal and help meet your daily protein needs.
Can I eat baked oatmeal for breakfast?
Yes! This healthy baked oats recipe is the perfect start to an energy-filled day. Either bake them fresh in the morning or prepare your oats the night before.
Is this baked oats recipe gluten-free?
Yes, this baked oats recipe is gluten-free if you use gluten-free protein powder, a gluten-free milk alternative, and gluten-free oats. Make sure the ingredients don’t contain traces of gluten – cross-contamination is possible even with seemingly gluten-free foods.
*We like to use cream of tartar baking powder because, unlike regular baking powder, it contains no added phosphates.
