Notes
Note 1 - Bananas and Eggs
I usually make baked oats with one banana and one egg. You can use interchangeably, but I do recommend at least one banana to help with the sweetness.
If not using a banana, add a little sweetness (e.g. maple syrup).
Note 2 - Protein Powder
Chocolate or vanilla are best. I recommend using a vegan variety of protein powder instead of whey based on how it interacts with the flour.
If not using, substitute with equal amounts flour.
Note 3 - Milk
Use milk of choice - I recommend one that is quite creamy e.g. cows, soy or some oat milks. Nutrition information based off cow's milk.
Note 4 - Matcha Powder
I recommend using a sweetened matcha powder. If you use an unsweetened one, consider adding a sweetener to balance the flavours (sugar, maple syrup, honey). Taste before baking.
Serve with
Homemade chia jam, homemade strawberry jam, store purchased jam, yogurt, fresh fruit, drizzle of maple syrup
Storing
Once completely cooled, store slices in an airtight container with a paper towel on the bottom to prevent condensation. Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Note - chia jam may discolor if on top of the baked oats. For best taste and texture, store separate and add before eating.
Reheating
Reheat slices in the microwave for 20–30 seconds until just warmed through. You can also heat them in the oven at 350°F/175°C for 5–10 minutes if you want a slightly crisp top.
Freezing
Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminium for 3 to 6 months.
