Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal

The combination of warmed apples, hearty oats and chia seeds, cinnamon, and the perfect amount of sweetness from protein powder makes this a super satisfying, delicious, and healthy breakfast!

I honestly feel like I have failed myself by waiting this long in my life to make baked oats 🀣 baking your oatmeal creates an almost muffin-like texture on top and it is THE BEST. Plus, it’s less work AND less clean up!

I love adding chia seeds, homemade nut milk, and protein to my oatmeal because it keeps me full and (and not thinking about food, aka headspace for other things) much longer than plain old regular oatmeal. Hence, why I always follow my Creamy Chia Oats recipe.

I also typically add some sort of nut butter on top for extra healthy fat. I love almond butter with this recipe!

For this recipe, I used homemade cashew-coconut milk and Nuzest Clean Lean Vanilla protein but feel free to use whichever kind of milk and protein powder you have on hand.

If you use an unflavored protein powder (like collagen), I recommend adding one teaspoon of vanilla extract and sweetener of choice. Honey, coconut sugar, and maple syrup would all be perfect in this recipe! You can also use stevia or monk fruit to keep your oatmeal free of added sugar 😊
