This baked oatmeal dish is hearty, satisfying and can be enjoyed any day of the week. It’s made with simple ingredients like oatmeal, whey protein, cinnamon and nutmeg, and sweetened with your choice of sugar or liquid sweetener.
Ingredients:
- 3 heaped tablespoons oat flour (Mornflake Superfast Oats blend)
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- A pinch of mace or nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tbsp chopped toasted walnuts
- 1/2 small carrot, grated
- A pinch of salt
- A splash of milk (until you have a runny cake batter consistency)
- For the topping
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese or thick yoghurt
- Additional chopped toasted walnuts
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla whey protein, cinnamon, mace or nutmeg, baking powder, sugar or sweetener, raisins, crushed walnuts, grated carrot and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring constantly, until you have the consistency of a runny cake batter.
Pour the mixture into a greased ovenproof dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool slightly before topping with cream cheese or thick yoghurt and additional crushed toasted walnuts.
