 Ingredients (1 Large Serving or 2 Smaller Servings)

Dry Ingredients:

• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 scoop (25–30g) vanilla protein powder
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for fiber boost)

Wet Ingredients:

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% for creaminess)
• ¼ cup milk (dairy, almond, or oat milk)
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweetener (Optional):

• 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  (Adjust based on preference and protein powder sweetness)

Add-In:

• ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

 Equipment Needed

• Medium mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Small baking dish, ramekin, or oven-safe bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Oven

 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin with oil spray or a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Greek yogurt
• Egg
• Milk
• Vanilla extract
• Maple syrup (if using)

Whisk until smooth and creamy with no lumps.

This step ensures a silky base and prevents uneven texture in the final bake.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

Add to the bowl:

• Rolled oats
• Protein powder
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Chia seeds (if using)

Stir gently until fully combined.

The batter should be thick but slightly pourable.
If it feels too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk.

Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries.

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them beforehand. This prevents excess moisture and color bleeding into the batter.

For extra blueberry flavor, lightly mash a few berries before folding in.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until:

• The center is set
• The edges are slightly golden
• A toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean

For a creamier texture, remove closer to 25 minutes.
For a firmer texture, bake closer to 30 minutes.

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy

Allow the bake to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

It will continue to firm up slightly as it cools.

Enjoy warm for a soft, custard-like texture or chilled for a denser, cheesecake-style feel.
