Baked Oats
- ¼ cup rolled old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 tbsp liquid egg whites
- 15 g vanilla protein powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Blueberry Filling
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Swerve (granular and brown mixture)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (estimated based on standard blueberry jam recipes)
Topping
- Mixture of granular and brown Swerve (for sugar donut topping)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10 oz. ramekin with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Oat Batter: Add all baked oats ingredients (rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, liquid egg whites, vanilla protein powder, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder) into a small blender. Blend until smooth and well combined. Set this oat mixture aside.
- Make the Blueberry Filling: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and Swerve. Slightly mash some of the blueberries with a spoon to release juices. Cook until the mixture starts bubbling, then remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Assemble the Baked Oats: Pour the oat batter into the prepared ramekin. Spoon the warm blueberry filling into the center of the batter, creating a pocket of blueberry jam within the oats.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the oats should come out clean when done. For a slightly gooey texture, bake closer to 25 minutes.
- Add Topping and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle a mixture of granular and brown Swerve on top to mimic a sugar donut topping. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-rich blueberry jam baked oats.
Notes
- For best results, use a blender or Nutribullet for smooth batter consistency.
- You can adjust the sweetness level by altering the amount of Swerve according to taste.
- Frozen blueberries work well, but fresh can be used if preferred.
- If you don’t have liquid egg whites, you can use whole eggs but may need to adjust baking times slightly.
- Ramekin size is important to maintain proper thickness and baking time—use a 10 oz. size for ideal results.
