Ingredients

• 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
• 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
• ½ cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ cups (225 g) fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds (if using).
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
5. Gently fold in 1 cup of the blueberries.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
7. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of blueberries over the top.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
9. Let the bake cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Optional Toppings

• Extra Greek yogurt
• Fresh blueberries
• Sliced bananas
• Chopped almonds or pecans
• Peanut or almond butter
• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Storage

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Wrap individual portions and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Microwave for 30–60 seconds or warm in a 325°F (160°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

Tips

• If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before mixing into the batter.
• For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with additional Greek yogurt.
• Add lemon zest for a bright, fresh blueberry-lemon variation.
• Use a whey-casein blend or plant-based protein powder for the best baking texture, as some protein powders absorb more liquid than others.
