A quick and satisfying baked oats recipe packed with protein, bursting with blueberries and banana, and enriched with a creamy nut butter swirl. Perfect for busy mornings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g) – old-fashioned oats preferred
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries (75g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g), plain, full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 cup milk (240ml), dairy or plant-based
  • ¼ cup nut butter (60ml), creamy peanut or almond butter
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (30g), whey or plant-based
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (30ml), optional
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl using a fork until smooth with a few small lumps, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add Greek yogurt, milk, and maple syrup (if using) to the mashed banana. Whisk together until creamy and well combined.
  4. Stir in the protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, ensuring no clumps remain, about 2 minutes.
  5. Fold in the rolled oats gently, ensuring every oat is coated but the batter isn’t overmixed. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a few for topping if desired. If using frozen, fold them in straight from the freezer.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of nut butter on top of the batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl it through the oats, creating a marbled effect.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and the oats are set but still moist. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
  10. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help it firm up and make slicing easier.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor. Warm nut butter slightly if thick for easier swirling. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Resting the batter before baking improves texture. Can prepare batter the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
