These delectable baked oats are ready for spring! A blend of Protein Oats and Quick Cooking Rolled Oats creates a tender, cake-like texture. The addition of cinnamon, carrots and golden raisins will fill your home with an irresistible aroma.
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 2 ½ tablespoons water; set aside and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine chia mixture, oats, sugar, baking powder, spices, carrot, raisins, and water or milk.
Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the baked oats are golden brown and firm when touched in the center.
To make the topping, combine vanilla yogurt, almond protein powder and raw sugar in a small bowl. Add milk as needed to make the topping your preferred texture. Stir to mix well. Serve over baked oats.
