Introduction

Enjoy a delicious twist on breakfast with these Strawberry Pop Tart Protein Baked Oats. They combine the nostalgic flavors of a pop tart with the wholesome goodness of baked oats, perfect for a filling start to your day or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour (120 grams)
• 1 scoop Dymatize Elite Vanilla Casein Protein Powder (33 grams)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 2/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (5.3 fl oz)
• 2 large eggs (100 grams)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 grams)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Smucker’s Low Sugar Strawberry Preserves (34 grams)
• 6 tbsp powdered sugar (45 grams)
• 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (2 fl oz)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray the inside of three half-quart (about 8 fl oz capacity) baking dishes with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated and no dry flour remains. The batter should be thick and sticky.
4. Step 4: Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared baking dishes and spread it out to the edges. Spread the strawberry preserves on top, avoiding the edges. Add the remaining batter on top and smooth it out to the edges.
5. Step 5: Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until the oats puff up, lightly brown on top, and are firm to the touch without leaving a mark.
6. Step 6: While the oats cool, whisk together Greek yogurt and powdered sugar until smooth. Add red gel food coloring if desired for a pop of color.
7. Step 7: Once cooled, spread the frosting atop the baked oats. Add sprinkles if you like, then serve.

Tips & Variations

• Use gluten-free oat flour to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
• Swap the strawberry preserves for any other low-sugar fruit jam to customize the flavor.
• Add fresh fruit on top after frosting for extra texture and freshness.
• If you don’t have vanilla almond milk, regular milk or any plant-based milk can be used instead.

Storage

Store leftover baked oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before serving. The frosting is best added fresh, but you can spread it on after reheating as well.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Can I prepare these baked oats in advance?

Absolutely! You can prepare the batter and assemble the baked oats a day ahead, store them in the fridge, and bake them fresh when ready. Just add the frosting after baking and cooling.

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare baking dishes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the inside of three half-quart baking dishes (approximately 8 fl oz capacity each) with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla casein protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.
4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the batter is fully incorporated, thick, and sticky, ensuring no dry flour remains visible.
5. Assemble the baked oats: Divide half the batter evenly into the prepared baking dishes and use a spatula to spread it evenly, reaching the edges. Spoon and spread the strawberry preserves over the batter, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, spread the remaining batter on top to cover the jam completely, smoothing it out to the edges.
6. Bake: Place the dishes in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes. The baked oats should puff up slightly, start to brown lightly on top, and be firm to the touch without leaving a mark.
7. Cool: Remove the dishes from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool down.
8. Prepare frosting: While the baked oats are cooling, whisk the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Optionally, add a small amount of red gel food coloring to enhance the color.
9. Serve: Once the baked oats have cooled, spread the yogurt frosting evenly on top. Optionally add sprinkles or any additional desired toppings before serving.

Notes

• Use oat flour for a gluten-free option, but ensure it is certified gluten-free if needed.
• Vanilla casein protein powder adds creaminess and sweetness while boosting protein—substitute with other vanilla protein powders as desired.
• Be careful not to spread the strawberry preserves all the way to the edge to prevent leakage during baking.
• The yogurt frosting can be made ahead and refrigerated if needed.
• This recipe fits well as a high-protein, low sugar breakfast or snack option.
