Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 34 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup Protein Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 3 tablespoons Hemp Seeds

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 medium Bananas (1 cup mashed banana)
  • 1 1/3 cup Soy Milk Protein Plus
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare vessels: Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and grease 3 mini cast-iron casseroles with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Set them aside.
  2. Combine ingredients in blender: Add bananas, oats, protein powder, soy milk, chia seeds, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a blender.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed for about 1 minute until the mixture is creamy. Use the tamper attachment if necessary to push ingredients near the blades for an even blend.
  4. Fold in hemp seeds: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in the hemp seeds using a rubber spatula for even distribution.
  5. Portion batter into casseroles: Divide the mixture equally among the 3 prepared casserole dishes. Top each with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate chips, and banana slices.
  6. Bake: Place the casseroles on a baking sheet and bake them on the center rack of the oven for 45-50 minutes. The baked oats should rise above the edge of the dish, have a golden brown top, and a toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and store: Allow the baked oats to cool, then store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  8. Rewarm and serve: Reheat individual servings in the microwave at 1000W for 1-2 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of peanut butter for an extra protein boost.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds to your preference.
  • If you prefer a sweeter baked oat, increase the coconut sugar slightly.
  • Ensure not to overbake as the oats will continue to cook slightly when reheated, helping retain moisture.
  • The recipe yields three individual servings; double the ingredients if making for more people.
  • Use a high-quality protein powder (whey or plant-based) to complement the flavors and protein content.
