Baked protein oats
This is the ultimate filling breakfast that almost feels like a dessert. It's high in protein, gluten free, dairy free, and free of added sugar. All you'll really need are oats, eggs, protein powder and milk - the rest is customisable depending on what you like

Servings 3 large portions
For the base recipe 90 g (1 cup) gluten free oats 3 scoops protein powder - I use unflavoured vegan powder, but you could use any other type for this recipe 3 medium eggs 50 ml dairy free milk e.g. coconut or soya 1.5 tsp baking powder Optional flavourings 3 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp mixed spice 1.5 tsp vanilla extract 150 g blueberries 1 large apple, chopped into small chunks (I love pink lady apples) 100 g almond butter 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup - if you like it a bit sweeter 3 tbsp dairy free yoghurt/cream equivalent to serve
Preheat the oven to 175°C or 350°F
Grease and line a square 6x6 inch roasting tin. If using a shallower baking tin, use a larger size to allow the mixture room to rise
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until slightly fluffy
Tip in the oats, protein powder, baking powder and (optional) cinnamon, mixed spice and vanilla essence
Using a metal spoon, stir the mixture together until the lumps of protein powder have disappeared. Don't worry if some small clumps still remain
Tip in the blueberries and chopped apple and mix gently
Pour the whole mixture into the tin and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown
Cut into slices and eat warm. If desired, serve together with yoghurt or cream
