Notes

To make a chocolate sauce to drizzle, just melt 1-2 tbs of chocolate chips at extremely low heat then drizzle over the protein baked oatmeal.
The kind of protein you choose will make a difference. If using a pea-based protein like genuine health, bake for 15 minutes. If using a vegan protein powder like Orgain which isn’t fermented, bake for an additional two minutes and know that the protein baked oatmeal will be a bit thicker and gooier.
When you blend the mixture, the protein baked oats mixture won’t be fully blended/combined, that’s okay! Just make sure to divide them evenly as they fall to the bottom of the food processor.
Honey cannot be used in place of maple syrup for the baked oatmeal unless you add a splash more milk as it changes the texture.
Drizzling options are not included in the nutritional information.

If using beef protein: You only need 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, but you'll have to bake the oats for 20 minutes and not fifteen.
