Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten free old fashioned rolled oats Make sure to use certified gluten free oats for a gluten free version.
  • 3/4 cup oat milk Unsweetened oat milk is preferred.
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar Can substitute with a zero-calorie sweetener for a diabetic-friendly version.
  • 1 tbsp vanilla protein or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Using protein powder increases the dish's protein content.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar for icing Adjust to taste.
  • a tiny splash of milk for icing Use just enough to create a pourable glaze.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Grease a small baking dish.
  2. In a blender, combine the gluten free old fashioned rolled oats, oat milk, coconut sugar, vanilla protein (or vanilla extract), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
  3. Blend the ingredients together until smooth and slightly thick. Adjust the texture by adding more oat milk if too thick or a spoon of oats if too thin.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into the greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
Icing
  1. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with a tiny splash of milk until you achieve a thick but pourable glaze.
  2. Drizzle the icing over the warm baked oats and let cool for a few minutes to set.

Notes

Serve warm in slices or scoops. A 1/2 to 3/4 cup serving is suggested for adults focused on portion control. Pair with Greek yogurt or berries for added protein and vitamins.
