Ingredients
Scale
Baked Oats Batter
- ¼ cup rolled old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 tbsp liquid egg whites
- 15 g vanilla protein powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Swerve sweetener
Blueberry Jam Filling
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Swerve sweetener
Topping
- Mixture of granular and brown Swerve sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Ramekin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 10 oz. ramekin with nonstick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- Blend Oat Batter: Place all baked oat batter ingredients (rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, liquid egg whites, vanilla protein powder, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla extract, and Swerve) into a small blender. Blend until well combined and smooth. Set the batter aside.
- Make Blueberry Jam Filling: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add frozen blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and Swerve. Slightly mash some of the blueberries with a spoon to release juices. Continue heating until the mixture bubbles gently and thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
- Assemble in Ramekin: Pour the oat batter evenly into the prepared ramekin. Then spoon the warm blueberry filling into the center of the batter, allowing it to settle in the middle.
- Bake the Oats: Bake the ramekin in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the oat portion; it should come out clean or with minimal moist crumbs. For a slightly gooey texture, aim closer to 25 minutes.
- Add the Topping and Serve: Remove the baked oats from the oven and sprinkle a mixture of granular and brown Swerve sweeteners on top to create a sugar-donut inspired topping. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, fruity breakfast!
Notes
- You can substitute Swerve with your preferred sugar-free sweetener or regular sugar if desired.
- Use any frozen or fresh berries in place of blueberries if preferred.
- This recipe is perfect for preparing individual servings with a 10 oz ramekin, but can be scaled up using small baking dishes.
- Oats can be blended to desired texture—blend less for more texture or more for smoother batter.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and desired texture.
