Carrot Cake Protein Baked Oatmeal
By Emma P(Tiktok)
Makes 4-5 servings.
200g rolled oats
2 bananas
60g soy protein
420ml milk
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp cinnamon
70g grated carrot
40g raisins
pinch of salt
For the top:
150g thick yoghurt + honey + lemon juice
30g walnuts (optional, I'm not a walnut fan)
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C fan.
2. In a 9x6 baking dish (line if yours tends to stick), mash the bananas until smooth. Add the oats, soy protein, mixed spice, cinnamon, baking powder, milk, grated carrot and raisins. Stir until everything is fully combined, then smooth the top and clean down the sides,
3. Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden and set in the middle.
4. Meanwhile, mix the yoghurt with a little honey and lemon juice to taste.
5. Once the baked oats are out of the oven, let them cool for 5-10 minutes so the squares hold their shape. Spread over the yoghurt mixture and finish with the chopped walnuts.
6. Slice into portions. Microwave for 1 minute to warm through or enjoy cold for more of an oat-bar vibe. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Enjoy!
