A high protein macro friendly baked oatmeal that doubles as breakfast and dessert! Don’t skip the protein frosting drizzle – you will want to put this on EVERYTHING!
I have been keeping an eye on my protein & fiber intake lately and this protein packed version of my baked oatmeal is my favorite version yet!
This packs 15g of protein per square and 5g of fiber. And that’s just in one square! Go for two squares, and you’re still under 600 calories but now at 30g of protein. For a chocolatey TREAT. Cannot beat it!!!
This makes for a perfect breakfast meal prep – just warm and go. But it’s also a DELICIOUS protein packed dessert if you’re craving chocolate at night!
You can eat this on its own, or warm then drizzle with a little almond milk or even add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. UNREAL I tell you!
The texture is thick and fluffy and has a little crunch with plenty of chocolate. It’s the perfect combo with that rich velvety frosting drizzle on top.
Speaking of the drizzle, it’s super macro friendly on its own – adding even more protein to each bite! Tastes like chocolate peanut butter frosting. But is made with clean simple ingredients and takes just a minute to whip up. You’re gonna be making it again and again for muffins, pancakes, apple dip, and more!
You can find links to my preferred clean ingredient protein powder in the recipe notes below, along with the nutrition facts. I used My Fitness Pal to calculate so it was super accurate for the brands I use.
Cannot WAIT for you to try this one – it is a must make! Let me know when you do! Comment below or find me over on Instagram daily @justjessieb
Ohh & don’t forget to top with a sprinkle of flakey sea salt if you have it! Game changer on top of the chocolate peanut butter drizzle!
