These baked oats are simple to make with minimal ingredients. We left it plain so you can choose your own adventure. Will you go savory or will you go sweet? We love making this as meal prep for the week. You can pair it with any fruits and vegetables you’ve got on hand!
The consistency of the baked oats is close to a granola bar due to the Protein Oats. For a cakier consistency, you can use Old Fashioned Rolled Oats or use half of each kind of oats.
In a small bowl, combine 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 water or milk, chia mixture, protein oats, baking powder and salt. Mix together until fully combined. Pour into prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the baked oats are golden brown and firm when touched in the center.
