Let’s make cozy baked oats in the microwave bc who has time for the oven on a weekday? Yay for low-carb ish with half a serving of oats but still enjoying warm cozy oats and 36g of protein for optimal muscle and bone health ladies!
Celebrate breakfast with these Birthday Cake Baked Protein Oats! Blended with vanilla protein powder, cake batter extract, and a hint of pink salt, these oats capture the sweet, nostalgic flavor of classic birthday cake. The creamy icing made from vanilla Greek yogurt and cake batter extract adds a deliciously rich topping that feels like a treat. It’s a fun, festive way to start your day with a healthy dose of protein and fiber!
INGREDIENTS
1/4 c oats
1-2 T chia, husk, or ground flax (1 T for husk powder)
1 serving vanilla protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cake batter extract (found at Walmart and on my Amazon shop)
sprinkle of pink salt
1 c milk of choice (used unsw cashew)
-
Icing
1 heaping Tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt or plain and add some flavored protein powder to sweeten
1 Tbsp creamer or milk of choice
-
2 drops cake batter extract
STEPS
Combine dry ingredients and whisk in milk until all mixed together. Use a larger cereal or soup bowl to avoid overflow in the microwave.
Microwave 1 minute. Open microwave door and close. Cook another minute, open microwave again and cook in 10 sec increments if needed, until set. I like mine gooey in the middle so 2 min worked total. There’s no right or wrong. You can also bake in the oven at 350° for 30 min or so depending on depth of dish. Mine usually takes 30 min in a glass cereal bowl.
-
Icing: Stir in small bowl and spoon over oats after removing from oven. I topped mine with sprinkles. I like more fat than this to keep me satiated so had 1 T almond butter too but totally up to you and your hunger.
