Ingredients

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 lb frozen cherries
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 10 tbsp liquid egg whites or 2 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Drizzle
  • 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

For the Baked Oatmeal
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. If your cherries are whole, cut them into halves or quarters. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of sugar over the top of the cherries and allow them to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, protein powder, and baking powder.
  4. Add in the egg whites, milk, syrup, 1 tbsp of melted butter, 2 tbsp of the chocolate chips, and the cherries. If you get the big dark chocolate chips you should cut them up a bit so you get more coverage.
  5. Spray a 13"x9" pan with oil and add the oat mixture.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
For the Chocolate Drizzle
  1. Melt 1 tbsp of the dark chocolate chips and 1 tsp or so of milk in the microwave for few seconds until they melt. Stir to combine and continue to thin with milk until you get a consistency that will allow you to pipe over the top.
  2. Add the chocolate to a small ziplock bag and cut a small hole in the corner. Pipe the chocolate over the top of the baked oatmeal.
Plating
  1. This recipe makes 6 servings. Cut the oatmeal into 6 equal pieces.
