Ingredients
- 1 cup (100g) gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup or 2 scoops protein powder of your choice (vanilla, chocolate, or chocolate peanut butter flavor)
- 1 cup silken tofu
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (or chia seeds)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and adjust the rack to the middle of the oven if it is not already there. Lightly grease a small baking dish and set it aside.
- Add the rolled oats to a high-speed blender and process them until they become fine oat flour.
- Add all the remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips and peanuts and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Add all but about 1 tablespoon of both the chocolate chips and peanuts, then mix them in gently by hand. Spread everything out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and peanuts over the top.
- Bake at 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and it is golden brown.
- Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before serving, and then dig in!
