Mocha Baked Protein Oats

A delectable blend of hearty oats, rich chocolate flavors, and the invigorating kick of coffee. This recipe combines the goodness of oats and protein, enhanced by the bold notes of cacao or cocoa powder. With a touch of flaxseed meal or chia seeds for added texture and nutrition, these baked oats are elevated to a whole new level. The fusion of chocolate or vanilla protein, a hint of salt, and baking powder ensures a moist and indulgent texture.

To enrich the mocha experience, we've incorporated nonfat Greek yogurt for creaminess, along with vanilla or almond extract for a subtle hint of sweetness. The star ingredient, cold brew or leftover coffee, infuses the oats with a delightful coffee essence. To achieve the perfect consistency, almond milk is added for a touch of nuttiness.

Bake to perfection, and savor the harmonious marriage of chocolate and coffee in every wholesome bite. Mocha Baked Protein Oats—a deliciously energizing way to start your day!

INGREDIENTS

• Dry

  • 1 1/2 c oats (GF if needed)

  • 1/2 c flaxseed meal or chia seeds

  • 2 T cacao or unsw cocoa powder

  • 1 c The Peachie Spoon Chocolate Protein Powder or The Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

• Wet

  • 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract

  • 1 c cold brew or leftover coffee

    STEPS

1. Combine dry ingredients, add wet and stir well.

2. Put in a greased 9 x 13 and bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes until cooked through.

3. Keep an eye on it because it'll get dry if overcooked. Cut into 6 servings and store in the fridge. Good for a week in the fridge. Also freezes well and you can microwave one piece at a time to thaw.

    

   Notes: I love mine heated in a bowl, pour almond milk over, top with some low-sugar vanilla yogurt and Pb powder or nut butter. You can also grab a slice on the go and eat it like a bar. Mouth party perfection.

   *if not a coffee fan, do 1 1/2 c milk and skip coffee for regular chocolate flavored.
