Protein Baked Oats Recipe: Banana Bread

A protein-packed breakfast that tastes like banana bread? These Protein Baked Oats in a banana bread style are the perfect combination of nutrients, flavour, and ease of preparation.

Many vegan breakfast recipes are either low in protein or high in sugar. But with this recipe, you’ll get an extra boost of plant-based protein – thanks to WAM Protein Banana Bread. It's also ideal for meal prep and a cosy start to your day.

Why Protein at Breakfast is Important

A high-protein breakfast helps you:

• Start the day with a filling, warm meal

• Get protein in early – protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass

• Reach your daily protein goals more easily

For those following a plant-based diet, getting sufficient protein can sometimes be a challenge. A great-tasting vegan protein powder that works in baking is an easy solution.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas (mashed)

• Dark chocolate chips

• Nuts of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

3. Spread the dough evenly into the baking dish.

5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on the surface.

6. Allow to cool, cut into pieces, and enjoy.

Variations and Tips

• Not sweet enough? Use very ripe bananas or add a natural sweetener of your choice, such as agave syrup, maple syrup, honey, or sugar.

• Looking for variety? Customize this high-protein base recipe by adding berries (e.g. blueberries), cocoa powder, or nut butter.

• Not a banana bread fan? You can substitute the banana in the batter with applesauce.

• Meal prep: These baked oats store well in the fridge or freezer and can be enjoyed warm or cold as a breakfast or snack.

Why WAM Protein is the Perfect Choice for Baking

Many vegan protein powders taste artificial, are too sweet, or don’t mix well when used for baking. WAM Protein Banana Bread keeps a great texture when baked, isn’t overly sweet and is sweetened with stevia instead of sucralose.

• 100% vegan

• Perfect solubility

• Balanced, not overly sweet taste
