peanut butter banana chocolate chip baked oats

I am still in my oats era, so I decided to try baked oats and holy heck are they good!! Making them in the airfryer was so convenient too – takes way less time than the oven!

Note: to lower carbs on this recipe, you can use ½ of a banana as well! You will need to cook a bit longer to get the “cakey” texture with less banana.

Macros: 8g f / 64g c / 15g p

Ingredients:

• ½ Banana

• ½ cup of rolled oats

• 5g chia seeds

• 1 tbsp chocolate chips

• ½ cup almond milk

• 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used iHeartMacros)

• ½ tsp baking powder

• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup, Sugar Free

• 1/2 tbsp + 1 tsp brown sugar substitute

• 1 tsp Cinnamon

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients besides chocolate chips to a bowl and mix. Spray a ramekin or oven safe container with cooking spray and add in your oats mixture. Top with chocolate chips. Cook according to below directions:

2. AIR FRYER: Preheat air fryer to 325*. Bake for 10-12 minutes, checking at around the ten minute mark. I like my middle on the “gooey” side, so I keep mine at around 10. If you like banana bread texture, you can go closer to 15 minutes.

3. OVEN: Bake at 350* for 12-20 minutes, depending on the consistency you like, just as above!

   Enjoy!
