This soft and chewy protein baked oatmeal boasts an impressive 20 grams of protein per slice, making it an ideal choice for fueling your day or supporting muscle recovery. The cake-like texture offers a comforting bite, with a subtly sweet flavor that’s perfectly balanced by wholesome oats and a hint of natural sweetness. Rich in fiber and packed with quality protein, this dish not only satisfies your taste buds but also helps keep you full and energized for hours. Its versatility makes it perfect for post-workout refueling, meal prepping for busy mornings, or even a nourishing snack anytime. For those with gluten sensitivities, simply use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free, and vegans can substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives to enjoy the same delicious results. To achieve the best texture, be sure to measure your ingredients carefully and avoid overmixing, which can make the baked oatmeal dense. Enjoy it warm with a dollop of yogurt or fresh fruit, or even chilled for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast that’s both satisfying and nutritious.

TROUBLESHOOTING
My oatmeal recipes are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
