Oatmeal Bake (breakfast or dessert)
(revised recipe from Anna Slotnick)
Sometimes the old egg whites and oatmeal breakfast gets a little boring. Maybe you just don’t have time! This Oatmeal Bake you can make the night before and just grab a bar in the morning!
(or we sometimes like to have a bar after dinner for a little something sweet, but not too naughty!)
There are 3 combos we made:
Almond Coconut
Banana Walnut
Apple Pecan
They are all freakin’ awesome and you can create your own combos too!
Ingredients:
2 c. old fashioned oats (not quick oats)
4 scoops vanilla whey (we used Dymatize Elite XT)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
lots of brisk shaking of cinnamon (2 itsp??)
4 egg whites (or 1/2 c liquid egg whites)
1.5 c cold water (or almond milk if you want)
3/4 c. Pumpkin (or you can use no sugar added applesauce)
Sweetener as desired—4-6 packets of splenda or truvia, 3-4 dropperfuls of lohan (or none)
Then…. this is where the fun starts
OPTIONS–
Coconut & Almond (1/2 c. coconut, 1/4c. almonds chopped)
Apples & Pecans (1 whole apple chopped, 1/4 c. pecans chopped)
Bananas & Walnuts (1 whole banana sliced, 1/4 c. walnuts chopped)
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together wet ingredients – except fruit, nuts, or coconut
3. Mix together dry ingredients in separate bowl.
4. Spray pan with non-stick baking spray or grease with coconut oil (we used a cake pan– 8×13)
5. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients – make sure it is distributed evenly. Then add nuts, half of the coconut or fruit. **if doing a banana, line the pan with banana slices
6. Pour mixture into pan and top with extra shredded coconut or extra apple slices
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes (make sure a knife/toothpick comes out clean in the center)
They taste amazing when still warm from the oven, but still are delicious when room temp or reheated;)
Cut into 1/4ths. (This makes 4 servings.)
Each serving has:
1/2 c. oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 egg white
little bit of: pumpkin, sweetener, spices, etc.
29 g carbs (less than 3g of sugar– from fruit and little bit of pumpkin), 33 g protein, 0.5-2g g fat (depending on if using nuts or not)

This sounds so good! Know of any way to modify it if you don’t have any whey protein right now? I ran out and have yet to order any, but I’d love to try this recipe soon!
Do you have a magic bullet? you could make almond flour, just basically grind up almonds to a powder.
We’d also say you could use oat flour, but it already has 2 cups of oats… so that would be a lot of extra carbs.
Almond or coconut flour would prob work best, but its also a matter of having on hand!
This is just what we need! So bored of Oatmeal. Did I see this right, it only makes 4 servings?
well, we cut the cake pan in 4ths so the servings are HUGE!
If you want to make a side of eggs, then you can cut them into smaller bars.
We just like a lot of food! haha
4 servings if you are eating it as a meal
Ok that makes sense
Just baked this today- so yummy after my run!!! I needed something different than the usual egg whites and oatmeal!!
oh they are so good right?!
Is there any way to just use whole eggs? If so, how many should I use? Also, how could you make this vegan? That would be awesome too!
Thanks!
I would use two whole eggs
and we asked our fans how to make it vegan by replacing the eggs and a lot of people said “Ground Flax and water, or chia seeds and water, or silken tofu”
You can use Vega protein powder instead of whey.
We haven’t tried the vegan version yet, but would like to! Would like to see how the egg substitution suggestions work~
