Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 2 cups milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 eggs (or egg substitute)
- 1/4 cup sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute)
- 1/2 cup blueberry jam
- Optional add-ins: nuts, seeds, or additional fruits (e.g., walnuts or chia seeds)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir the dry ingredients until well mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk, 2 eggs (or egg substitute), and 1/4 cup of sweetener. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Incorporate blueberry jam: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of blueberry jam into the oat mixture, making sure not to overmix. You want to have swirls of jam rather than it being completely integrated.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light layer of oil. Pour the oat mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy warm, or store for later!

Keywords: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of jam or add fresh blueberries for extra fruity goodness. If you prefer a softer texture, add a little more milk; for a more cake-like consistency, reduce the milk slightly.
