¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 large egg
30 g (≈ 1 scoop) vanilla (or sugar‑cookie flavored) protein powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 Tbsp granola butter (e.g. sugar cookie flavor) for topping (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and lightly grease a 10–12 oz ramekin or small oven‑safe bowl.
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend or whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin, smoothing the top. Optionally, swirl or top with granola butter.
Bake for 25 minutes at 350 °F, until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from oven and let cool briefly before serving—serve with extra granola butter or fresh fruit if desired.
