Baked Banana Protein Oats (18g Protein, Meal-Prep Ready)
A baked banana protein oat tray you slice and reheat all week — 18g of protein per serving, ready in 35 minutes for about $1.10 a serving. This is the tray I bake on Sunday so breakfast stops being a decision. It comes out like banana bread but eats like oatmeal, and it holds up in the fridge better than any bowl of instant oats ever has.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish and arrange the sliced banana on top.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes, until set and lightly golden on top.
- Let cool slightly, then slice into 4 portions. Store in the fridge and reheat before serving.
Notes
Use overripe bananas you’d otherwise toss — they’re sweeter, so you can cut back on added sugar and still get a naturally sweet tray.
