  • ⅓ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional mix-ins: 1–2 tablespoons chocolate chips, berries, chopped nuts, or peanut butter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin.
  2. In a blender, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, banana/applesauce, egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Stir in or top with any optional mix-ins.
