Sometimes you need a filling breakfast that shines with flavor and keeps you satisfied all morning long. Enter the mouthwatering Strawberry Cheesecake High-Protein Baked Oats—a creamy, dreamy spin on baked oats that’s quick to make and rich in protein. Take one spoonful of these sweet, tangy oats, and you’ll be hooked!
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat an 8×8-inch baking dish (or individual ramekins) with nonstick spray to ensure an easy cleanup later.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Next, stir in the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt. Mixing everything by hand works great here—you’ll get a nice, thick batter.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries, reserving a few pieces for the top if you want that extra pop of color. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Decorate the surface with the remaining strawberry pieces. Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the baked oats to cool slightly before digging in for the best texture—though if you can’t wait, a bit of warm, gooey strawberry goodness never hurt anyone! Slice or spoon it up and savor your protein-packed start to the day.
This recipe is perfect for busy folks looking for a hearty, health-conscious meal that doesn’t compromise on taste. Feel free to swap in different fruits (like blueberries or peaches) or try a chocolate protein powder if you prefer a richer flavor. With its balance of fiber and protein, these baked oats make a versatile breakfast, brunch, or post-workout snack. Adjust the sweetener or milk of choice to suit your preferences, and rest assured that you’re fueling your day with something comforting and totally delicious.
