Equipment

8×8 or 9x9 inch square baking dish
mixing bowls

Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
¼ cup protein powder I use vanilla flavored
3 Tbsp maple syrup
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
2 cups fresh blackberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 ºF spray an 8×8 or 9x9 inch square baking dish with olive oil or avocado oil. Try to keep the baking dish as close as possible in size for the best outcome.
In a large bowl, whisk or stir the old fashioned oats, cinnamon, chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, brown sugar, vanilla protein powder of choice and salt until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup.
Pour the wet ingredients into the oat mixture and stir to combine. Gently fold in the blackberries. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown on the edges and middle is no longer jiggling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes, this helps the baked oatmeal stick together more.
When ready to serve, gently scoop out into a bowl or plate. It will be a tad crumbly but I prefer it this way, it feels more like a decadent treat. Serve with extra blackberries if desired.

Notes

To make it healthier, cut back on the brown sugar. I love the added sweetness but you can easily make it with less sugar. Calorie free sweetener is also an option.
This oatmeal bake is a bit crumble when served (but trust me it's so so good). I enjoy it best this way, it makes it more interesting with texture and less dense when enjoying. The blackberries also cause this.
Frozen blackberries work, but they will be a bit more runny/watery.
If you want to make this for dessert, add a scoop of ice cream for an extra yummy treat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze these for up to 2 months.
