High-Protein Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

This is a hearty, make-ahead dish that's perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or post-workout snack. The protein boost comes from a combination of eggs, milk, and optional protein powder.

• Yields: 6 servings

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)

• 2 large eggs

• 2 cups milk (dairy or high-protein alternative like Fairlife)

• 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (optional, omit if not using, and the macros below account for this)

• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (or zero-calorie sweetener to taste)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and maple syrup/honey.

3. Add the rolled oats, protein powder (if using), baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined and the protein powder is dissolved.

4. Gently fold in the blueberries.

5. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

7. Let it cool slightly before slicing into 6 equal squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
