Equipment
- Blender or food processor (to blitz the oats)
- Mixing bowl
- Ovenproof dish
- Measuring spoons and cups
Ingredients
- 45 g oats blitzed into a fine powder
- 15 g chocolate protein powder
- 100 ml milk any type
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 70 g mashed banana
- 20 g mixed chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep the Oats.Start by blitzing your oats in a blender or food processor until they turn into a fine powder. This will give your baked oats a cake-like texture.
- Mix the Ingredients.In a mixing bowl, combine the blitzed oats, mashed banana, protein powder, baking powder, cocoa powder, and milk. Stir well until you get a thick batter. The thicker the batter, the more “cakey” your baked oats will feel.
- Add Chocolate Chips.Pour the mixture into an ovenproof dish, then sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Bake.Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Bake the oats for 16 minutes or until the top is slightly firm and the chocolate chips are melted.
- Serve.Let the baked oats cool slightly before digging in. Enjoy them warm for the ultimate gooey, chocolatey experience!
Notes
- Check the Consistency: The batter should be thick, not runny, for the best cake-like texture.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the time to avoid drying out the oats. They should be soft but firm on top.
- Cool Before Serving: Letting the baked oats sit for a minute or two makes them easier to scoop and enjoy.
