Baked Protein Oats for Clean Eating Mornings!
Probably THE biggest request we receive here at CFC is “post more breakfast ideas,” primarily ones that can be made ahead of time then eaten throughout our busy workweek.
These bars are GREAT for breakfast, but also an EXCELLENT post-workout meal.
I enjoy a square with some high protein yogurt, or cottage cheese and a handful of fresh berries.

Step 2. Fold in the nuts, berries, and bananas.
Step 3. Transfer the mixture to your baking dish.
Step 4. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes.

Tips for Best Results
- A tiny smear of almond butter on top is super YUM, too (especially warm right out of the oven)!
- Don’t skip the part where the oats sit in the liquid for 30 minutes. It is essential for the texture of the bars.
Storage and Reheat Instructions
Store these protein oat bars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When reheating, I suggest using the microwave to warm them up slightly with 10-15 second bursts, or until they are how you like them.
