1/2 teaspoon baking powder Helps your oatmeal rise a bit, creating that delightful texture.
1 teaspoon cinnamon Offers warmth and sweet undertone.
1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances flavors and balances sweetness.
2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy) Makes the oatmeal creamy and rich; almond or oat milk can be substituted.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in any optional add-ins like chopped nuts or fruits.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Top with fresh fruits or a drizzle of yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat for a quick breakfast.
