INGREDIENTS
Ready to bake? Here's what you'll need...
Pecan Pie Baked Oats
½ cup rolled oats or quick oats
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or similar works great!)
1 ripe banana or apple puree
¼ cup almond milk
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp - 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
Optional Salted Caramel
1 tbsp cashew butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tbsp water
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt
Microwave all ingredients together in a small bowl and mix until combined. Either bake in the middle of the baked oats for a gooey centre or drizzle on top. (This step only applies if you are adding the optional Salted Caramel ingredients.)
METHOD
Simple recipes always taste the best, and it doesn't get much more straightforward than this...
Preheat the oven to 175C/350°F. Grease a ramekin or oven-safe pan with cooking spray.
In a blender, combine all the ingredients for the baked oats until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir through pecans.
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with just a couple of crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
