Double Chocolate Banana Baked Protein Oatmeal

This baked oatmeal combines ripe mashed bananas with oats, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, protein powder, and warming cinnamon, resulting in a rich double chocolate breakfast dish. The batter is mixed into a smooth consistency and baked until set, producing a moist, dense texture with pockets of melted chocolate chips and a balanced sweetness from maple syrup and banana.

Ingredients

  • 3 large banana mashed, ripe
  • 2 large egg
  • 1 cup oat milk or milk of choice, unsweetened
  • 2/3 cup almond butter or nut butter of choice, unsweetened
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 2 cups quick oats or rolled oats, gluten-free
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • ½ cup protein powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt sea salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 13” x 9” baking pan or a 9" x 9" square pan with cooking spray. As an alternative, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal. This is what I do.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until they are nice and creamy.
  3. Add the eggs, oat milk (or milk of choice), almond butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the mashed bananas and mix the wet ingredients together until they are well combined. If your almond butter is chilled from sitting in the refrigerator, microwave it for 20-35 seconds before mixing it into the other ingredients so that it stirs very easily. This will ensure it mixes with the other wet ingredients without clumping.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder and sea salt.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix well until a smooth batter forms. Mix in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the chocolate banana oatmeal mixture into the baking pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with extra chocolate chips.
  7. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 35 to 42 minutes, or until the oatmeal is cooked through.
  8. To verify whether or not the oatmeal is done, you can insert a digital thermometer into the center of the baked oats to check the internal temperature. It is ready if it is 190 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
  9. Allow the chocolate baked oatmeal to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. The hardest part about this recipe is staying patient to cut the oatmeal, but it is easier to slice and holds together better if it is sliced when cooled.
  10. Enjoy it with fresh fruit and Greek yogurt for a complete meal.

Notes

  • This recipe uses unsweetened, unflavored goat whey protein powder but you may omit the protein powder if desired.
  • If omitting protein powder, reduce the amount of milk to half a cup to maintain batter consistency.
  • Warm almond butter slightly before mixing to allow it to blend smoothly with the wet ingredients.
