Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (14g) coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp (12g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1 drop (0.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5ml) milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small oven-safe ramekin or mini baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  3. Stir in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Pour half of the oat batter into the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon into a thick paste.
  6. Dollop half of the cinnamon paste over the batter, pour the remaining oat batter on top, and dot with the remaining paste.
  7. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon paste into the batter in a figure-eight motion.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges pull slightly away from the sides and the top is golden-brown.
  9. Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes to set the structure.
  10. Whisk together Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and milk (if needed) until smooth, then drizzle over the warm oats.
