Ingredients

2 ripe bananas the riper the better!
2 scoops chocolate protein powder I use a vegan powder, so whey may be more absorbent… see notes below*
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup almond milk any milk works!
2 tbsp peanut butter drippy works best!
2 tbsp maple syrup
¼ tsp baking soda
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips optional!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 ° F and grease a 8 x 8 inch pan.
In the greased pan, mashe the two ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Then add the protein powder, oats, baking soda, peanut butter, maple syrup, and almond milk. Mix until fully combined!
Sprinkle on the chocolate chips and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Serve warm with extra peanut butter and enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator as the perfect meal prep!

Notes

*Whey protein powder tends to be a little different than vegan protein. Ideally the oatmeal mixture (before it’s baked) should have a thick pancake batter like consistency. If the protein powder is too absorbant, add a bit more milk. If it’s too thin, add some more oats!

This recipe is truly one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy this dessert for breakfast just as much as I do. Let me know in the comments down below!
