I haven’t had any luck finding an oatmeal recipe that I’ve really really loved, until today.  I still had quite a bit of pure pumpkin to use up and I was craving chocolate for breakfast so this baked brekkie was my end result.  I really liked topping this with Greek yogurt for extra protein. <3  I love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate in this thick, super filling, protein rich, breakfast.  <3

Ingredients:

2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1 cup Pure Pumpkin Puree
1 cup Almond Milk
¼ cup Cocoa Powder
⅓ cup Egg Whites
¼ cup Whey Protein Powder – (THM Pristine Whey Protein Powder or Piping Rock Whey Protein Powder Isolate)
2 Tbsp Sweet Blend (or 2/3 cup Erythritol or Xylitol,  or 4 Tbsp of Gentle Sweet) **Buy here
2 Doonks Stevia (a doonk is 1/32 tsp) **Buy Here
1 tsp Vanilla
¼ tsp Salt

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix by hand (really well to make sure you don’t get hard clumps of baked protein powder yuck!)
Spray a 8 inch round baking dish (or a 8×8 square pan) with a small amount of coconut oil.   Bake for 30 minutes at 350.

Let cool for 5 minutes and top with plain fat free Greek yogurt with a touch of vanilla extract, sweetened with Stevia.

With Love,
