These Strawberry Pop-Tart Protein Baked Oats are a sweet, protein-packed breakfast that captures the nostalgic flavor of a strawberry Pop-Tart in a warm, wholesome oat bake. Perfect for a quick morning meal or post-workout treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mashed banana)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam (sugar-free or regular)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1 tablespoon white chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for frosting)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small ramekin or oven-safe dish.
- Blend the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency.
- In a bowl, whisk together the blended oats, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Add the milk, Greek yogurt (or mashed banana), maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the greased ramekin and spread the strawberry jam evenly over the batter.
- Cover with the remaining batter and sprinkle almond flour on top for a crumbly texture. Add white chocolate chips if using.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- While the oats bake, mix together the frosting ingredients (Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract) in a small bowl.
- Let the baked oats cool for about 5 minutes, then spread the frosting on top and add sprinkles if desired before serving.
Notes
- Mashed banana can replace Greek yogurt in the batter for a dairy-free option.
- Use sugar-free strawberry jam to reduce overall sugar.
- Almond flour adds a crumbly texture similar to a Pop-Tart crust.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat briefly in the microwave.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips or omit them for a lighter option.
