Ingredients
1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
⅓ cup maple syrup
¼ cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 oz cream cheese (softened)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk (to thin the glaze as needed)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Optionally, swirl in a mixture of maple syrup and cinnamon on top.
6. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and set in the center.
7. While it bakes, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk to make the glaze.
8. Let oatmeal cool slightly before drizzling glaze over the top.
9. Slice and serve warm, or store for later.
Notes
Letting the mixture rest before baking allows oats to soak and bake evenly.
If doubling the recipe, use a 9×13 dish and increase bake time by 5–10 minutes.
For dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and cream cheese alternatives.
