Ingredients
Scale
Oat Batter
- ¼ cup rolled old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 tbsp liquid egg whites
- 15 g vanilla protein powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Swerve sweetener
Blueberry Filling
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Swerve sweetener
Topping
- Mixture of granular and brown Swerve sweetener for sugar donut topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 10 oz. ramekin with nonstick spray to ensure the baked oats do not stick.
- Prepare Oat Batter: Combine all the oat batter ingredients — rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg whites, vanilla protein powder, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla extract, and Swerve — in a small blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- Make Blueberry Filling: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and Swerve sweetener. Slightly mash some of the blueberries to release juices. Heat until the mixture begins to bubble, then remove from heat.
- Assemble in Ramekin: Pour the blended oat batter into the greased ramekin. Carefully spoon the warm blueberry filling into the center of the batter, creating a jam-like middle.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. Bake closer to 25 minutes if you prefer a slightly gooey texture; ensure a toothpick inserted in the batter (not the blueberry center) comes out clean.
- Add Topping and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the top with a mixture of granular and brown Swerve sweetener to mimic a sugar donut topping. Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, fruity breakfast treat!
Notes
- Use a blender to ensure the oat batter is completely smooth for the best texture.
- Adjust bake time depending on your preference for moistness—less time for gooey, more time for firmer oats.
- If you don’t have Swerve, you can substitute with any granulated sweetener of your choice.
- Frozen blueberries work best for the jam filling as they release good juices when heated.
- Ramekin size (10 oz) is key to achieving the right thickness for baking.
