Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Rolled Oats gluten-free
  • 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ Cup Almond Milk
  • 1 Cup Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips refined sugar free
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine rolled oats, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, eggs, milk, maple syrup, baking powder, & salt. Blend on medium-high for 45-60 seconds until smooth, like thick pancake batter. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips. 
  • Lightly grease or line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Top with a few more chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky sea salt if desired.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden and fully baked in the center. The edges should be crisp, and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then slice into 8 squares. Store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze portions for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Don't Over-Bake: Baked oats continue cooking after they come out of the oven, so pull them when the center is just done for the perfect texture.
  • Blend Thoroughly: Make sure there are no oat chunks in the batter, as they can create uneven pockets. Blend an extra 15 seconds if needed.
  • Use Real Pure Maple Syrup: Avoid using pancake syrup, which won't caramelize properly and can make the oats sticky instead of tender.
