A delightful and nutritious twist on classic baked oats, infused with the irresistible combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Start by combining 1/4 cup of oats (choose gluten-free if needed) with 2 tablespoons of chia or ground flax meal in a mixing bowl.
Pour in 1 cup of milk of your choice, such as almond milk, creating a creamy and satisfying base for your baked oats.Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to help the oats rise and achieve a fluffy texture. Incorporate 1 serving of chocolate protein powder, enhancing the oats with a boost of protein and delicious chocolate flavor.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter, providing a rich and nutty taste that pairs perfectly with chocolate. Break a square of dark chocolate into smaller pieces and add it to the mix, creating pockets of decadent chocolate goodness throughout the oats. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
Bake the Reese's Baked Protein Oats in the oven until they are set and golden brown on top. Once baked, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these protein-packed oats as a delightful breakfast or a wholesome snack, satisfying your cravings for the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter!
