Ingredients

Dry ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Wet ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-ins and topping

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • extra nut butter for drizzling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it and set aside.
  • Whisk together the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl so the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter until it is mostly incorporated (small streaks are fine).
  • Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and fold gently until no large dry pockets remain. Fold in half the blueberries so they’re distributed through the batter.
  • Transfer the oatmeal batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining blueberries over the surface and, if desired, dollop a few teaspoons of extra nut butter and swirl gently with a knife.
  • Bake for 30 to 36 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still slightly springy. Ovens vary; start checking at 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes so the bake firms up. Slice into 6 squares and serve warm with a drizzle of extra nut butter if you like.

Notes

To make ahead: bake, cool completely, cut into squares and refrigerate up to 4 days — reheat briefly before serving. For a firmer texture, let leftovers chill overnight; for a creamier bite, serve warm the day you bake.
