Ingredients
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8 baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mix oats, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold until combined.
5. In a small bowl, stir coconut oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon to create the swirl.
6. Pour half the oatmeal batter into the pan. Add half the swirl. Repeat and gently swirl with a knife.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the center is set. Let cool for 10 minutes.
8. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make icing. Drizzle over cooled oatmeal before serving.
Notes
Let the oatmeal cool before drizzling to keep the icing from melting away.
You can use flavored protein powder to customize the taste.
Add an extra scoop of protein or a topping of Greek yogurt for more protein power.
