Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups oat milk or any non-dairy milk of your choice
  • 2 cups organic rolled oats
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup organic peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 baking pan with coconut or avocado oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat milk, rolled oats, maple syrup, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, ground flax seed, chia seeds, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  • Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the vanilla protein powder and non-dairy milk to make the frosting.
  • Once the oatmeal has cooled, drizzle the protein frosting over the top.
  • Slice the baked oatmeal into squares and enjoy! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat before serving, or enjoy cold.

Notes

  • You can customize this baked oatmeal by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to the oatmeal mixture before baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup, depending on your preference.
  • If you don't have oat milk, you can use any other non-dairy milk you have on hand.
  • The protein frosting is optional but adds an extra boost of protein and flavor to the oatmeal.
