Notes

  • These high-protein baked oats are made without bananas which means that they’re sweet but not too sweet. Likewise, bananas tend to thicken the oats. These blended baked oats are light but chewy instead of thick or creamy.
    Not all the oats will blend when you process them- that’s okay! Just make sure to distribute the mixture evenly so one is not all liquid and the other all oats.
    You know the baked oats are done when you insert a toothpick into the middle of them and it comes out almost clean.
    To meal prep the recipe: blend the protein-baked oats ingredients, get them into the baking loaf and mix in your candy canes. Then, pop it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before baking.
    Love the recipe but don't want to make it Christmas-themed? Opt for regular sprinkled or chocolate chips in place of candy canes!
    If making these baked oats in a loaf pan, make sure to line it first otherwise they will stick.
    If making this baked oats recipe and portioning them into silicone molds so that everyone can top their own, you will only need to bake them for 20 minutes.
    Know that vegan vanilla protein powder can not be used in place of collagen for the protein baked oatmeal.
    Though maple syrup can be used for honey it may alter the texture of the recipe.
