Easy Chocolate Chip Baked Oats

I love oatmeal for breakfast since it is such a filling and high fiber meal. I’ve done overnight oats or big trays of oven baked oatmeal for meal prep,  but really wanted a single serve option that I could whip up in short time.

By blitzing the oats in a blender to make into a flour, this ends up more like vanilla chocolate chip cake. My favorite way to eat it is with Greek yogurt or milk poured over the top for a protein packed punch that tastes like dessert.

Instructions

1. Blitz oats in the blender or a coffee bean grinder for 10 seconds to create oat flour. (Or you can just use oat flour if you have that on hand, too!)
2. In a standard size serving bowl add oat flour, protein powder, baking powder and salt and whisk together.
3. Add milk and half the chocolate chips and whisk again.
4. Microwave for 1 minute to cook. Check firmness of mixture and cook another 30 seconds if needed.
5. Immediately sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top so they will start to melt.
6. Eat with a spoon while warm, or chop it up and throw some Greek yogurt or milk over the top for even more protein.
