Ingredients

½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 scoop vanilla protein powder I use whey protein
½ cup oat flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoon mini chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a small baking dish or 2 ramekins.
Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips to the bucket of a blender. Blend just until combined.
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Check sooner if you're baking in 2 ramekins.
Cool for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Notes

Protein content will depend on the brand of protein powder.
Err on the side of underbaking, as the baked oats can get dry if overbaked.
I use Premier Protein Vanilla Milkshake Whey Protein Powder. The texture may differ if you use another type of protein.
