Ingredients
  

For the Baked Oatmeal

  • 2 cups Rolled Oats
  • 2 cups Plant Milk I used almond, but any will work
  • ¼ cup Almond Butter
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Large Grated Carrot
  • 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
  • ¼ cup Dried Cranberries
  • ¼ cup Chopped Walnuts
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg
  • Pinch of Salt

For the High Protein Icing

Instructions
 

  • Pick a baking dish for your oats. Mine was a 7x10 but you can use an 8x8 dish as well.
  • Grate your carrot and add all of the ingredients into your baking dish.
  • Mix well to combine then pop your dish into the oven at 400f and cook for 35-40 minutes.
  • While your oats are cooking make the protein icing. Add the silken tofu, water and protein powder into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more protein if you prefer a sweeter icing. Use water as needed to thin and protein powder as needed to make it thicker to achieve an icing-like consistency.
  • Spread your icing on top of the cooked baked oats using a spoon, spatula or with a squeezy bottle or piping bag.
  • Top with extra shredded carrots and walnuts and enjoy! You can store it in the fridge for up to 5 days and it tastes AMAZING cold right out of the fridge!

Notes

If using extra firm tofu use 200g tofu, 1.25 cups water and 2.5 scoops of protein. Add water as needed to thin and protein powder as needed to thicken.
