These easy protein baked oats only need a few ingredients and are so quick to prep. Perfect for a healthy breakfast, especially if you're a fan of sweet treats! See the notes for details on an egg-free and protein powder-free alternative.
Preheat the oven to 200C / Fan 180C / Gas Mark 6. Grease two small ramekins with a little cooking spray and set to one side.
Add the banana, oats, baking powder, protein powder, milk, vanilla extract and egg to a blender and blend until it forms a smooth, runny batter.
Pour the mixture evenly between the two greased ramekins. Add your topping of choice (chocolate chips or blueberries in this case) and swirl in with a spoon. If you like, you can add a few extra chocolate chips or blueberries on top too.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, until the tops have browned and crackled and the baked oats are well risen.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before eating hot, or storing as per the instructions in the notes below.
