This baked oatmeal will save your mornings!! Not only is it quick, but it's super healthy too!! You'll be making this dish again and again!
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1½ cups pumpkin puree (you can sub in sweet potato puree)
- 1½ cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- ¼ cup honey
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 scoop protein powder about 3 tbsp
- 2 tbsp collagen optional
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 6 squares dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 10 small ramekins, 4 to 6 ounces in size, with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, honey until well combined.
- In a smaller bowl, combine cocoa powder, protein powder, collagen (if using), walnuts (if using), oats and baking powder. Add to wet mixture and stir well.
- Spoon half the oatmeal mixture into the ramekins and place 1 piece of chocolate on top. Top with the remaining oat mixture. Place the ramekins in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. (or microwave for 2-3 minutes or until it is relatively firm to the touch)
- Serve immediately
- When the oatmeal is baked, let cool for 5 minutes, then enjoy! I like to add a bit more chocolate to the top as it cools to make it extra gooey!!
