Lemon Blueberry Baked Protein Oats

A burst of freshness and vibrant flavors to elevate your morning routine, this delightful recipe seamlessly combines the goodness of oats, chia or ground flaxseed, and the uplifting essence of lemon and blueberries.

With a foundation of oats and chia or flaxseed, these baked oats provide a hearty and wholesome base, complemented by the gentle rise from baking powder. The aromatic touch of cinnamon adds warmth to the mix.

The star players, vanilla protein powder and nonfat Greek yogurt, contribute richness and protein to the dish. A symphony of flavors unfolds as almond and vanilla extracts infuse the oats with their sweet and aromatic notes.

To achieve a perfect balance, unsweetened almond milk is added for a creamy consistency, while fresh or frozen blueberries bring a burst of juicy sweetness. The zesty kick from freshly squeezed lemon juice and grated rind adds a refreshing twist that harmonizes with the sweet blueberries.

Bake to perfection, and savor the enticing blend of Lemon Blueberry Baked Protein Oats—a delightful and invigorating way to start your day.

INGREDIENTS

  • Dry

    • 1 1/2 c oats (GF if needed)

    • 1/2 c chia or ground flaxseed

    • 2 tsp baking powder

    • 1 tsp cinnamon

    • 1 c vanilla protein powder

  • Wet

    • 1 c nonfat Greek yogurt

    • 1 tsp almond extract

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    • 1 1/2 c almond milk (unsweetened)

    • 1 c or pint fresh or frozen bluebs

    • 1 lemon, juiced & rind (1/2 mixed in, 1/2 on top)

      STEPS

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir.

  2. Add yogurt, extracts, milk, lemon juice, and 1/2 rind. Stir well.

  3. Place into a greased 9x13 dish and top with blueberries and more rind.

  4. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes.

  5. Cut into 6 servings for an easy prepped meal to satisfy your sweet tooth and support metabolism and blood sugar for 4 hours or so.

    Notes: Usually top mine with Greek yogurt but complete balanced meal without any toppings. If I’m having a hungry day (most of the time) I add 1 T of nut butter too for more healthy fat. You can also grab a slice on the go and eat it like a bar. Mouth party perfection. Good for a week in the fridge & freezes well too. If freezing, place each slice in a baggie and microwave or bake to thaw. Yay for low-carbish cozy oatmeal. There’s plenty of room for the blueberries and oats for carb storage without gaining new fat. These were tested with my glucose monitor and passed for those steady levels.
