Description

This warm, spiced oatmeal bake is like digging into a cinnamon roll—without the sugar crash. I made it on a slow morning once, and it became my favorite way to enjoy oats. It’s soft, fragrant, and keeps you full for hours.

Scale

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups milk (any kind)

½ cup Greek yogurt

½ cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder

¼ cup maple syrup

2 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans for topping


Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together milk, yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla.
