Baked Oats with Rolled Oats

Notes

  • For soft and fluffy baked oats, I recommend vegan protein powder or casein. With whey, the texture of the dessert will be pretty dry.
  • As different protein powders absorb liquids differently, the amount of milk will change based on your choice. Use less (about 80 ml or 1/3 cup) for whey and more (about 100 to 120 ml or ca. 1/2 cup) for vegan protein powder and casein.
  • Nutritional values are calculated for the basic Protein Baked Oats recipe: adjust the macros based on the version you make.
