Chocolate Banana Protein Baked Oatmeal

Is there a better combo than chocolate and banana?! Ok, maybe chocolate and peanut butter- but chocolate and banana is always a winning combo in my book. Try this protein baked oatmeal for an easy and balanced meal prep breakfast.

I’m always looking for new ways to mix up meal prep breakfast- especially for after a workout. I want my breakfast to be delicious (obviously) but also packed with protein, healthy carbs to re-fuel and a little fiber to keep me full. Baked protein oats always fit the bill!

Note:

• I prefer whey protein in baked good recipes. This protein is the one I use and works great in this recipe!
• Prefer vanilla protein? Add 2 tbsp of cocoa powder to make it chocolate (or keep it vanilla based!)

Chocolate Banana Protein Baked Oatmeal
Serves 6

Wet:
2 banana (1 ½ mashed to make ½ cup, ½ sliced)
1/2 cup greek yogurt (I use 2%)
1 1/2 cup milk (of choice)
2 eggs
2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry:
2 1/2 cup rolled oats
2 scoop chocolate protein powder (see notes)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional- to make it more chocolatey)

To prepare:

1. Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9×13” baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and combine with all wet ingredients (including mashed banana).
3. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix well. Mixture will be liquidy- this is what you’re going for!
4. Pour into baking dish and top with sliced banana.
5. Bake in preheated oven 30-33 minutes, or until oats are just set and lightly golden on the top (don’t over-cook!).
