RECIPE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT BAKED OATS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this oatmeal macadamia nut cookies baked oats recipe (the exact measurements, nutrition information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card below):

• gluten-free oats -quick oats blend up a bit easier but you can also use old-fashioned rolled oats. Do not use steel-cut oats in this recipe.
• baking powder – gives the mixture a slight rise and that perfect fluffy cake-like texture.
• brown sugar – for that caramel-y taste. You can use coconut sugar to make this recipe refined sugar-free.
• Whey Protein powder – My favourite type of protein powder is PEScience vanilla protein powder and you can use code BAILEY at checkout for a special deal on all their products! They have really good vegan protein powder and chocolate protein powder.
• unsweetened almond milk – any non-dairy milk or regular milk will work. We add some to the batter and then some more for pouring over the oats once baked.
• vanilla – use real vanilla extract for the best flavor.
• egg – could substitute for a flax egg or chia seeds but will not be as fluffy as whole eggs.
• salty macadamia nuts
• sweet white chocolate chips – I like using dark chocolate and opt for the mini sized ones as they look especially cute for a single serving
• optional – vanilla pudding for center, peanut butter, cashew butter, or almond butter drizzle for some healthy fats, pure maple syrup or white sugar if you’ve got a sweet tooth, greek yogurt, or even potentially fresh fruit.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease small oven safe baking dish with cooking spray or softened butter.
2. Blend your oats on high to create a fine powder. Then add all remaining wet and dry ingredients (except macadamia nuts and chocolate chips) and blend till combined.
3. Pour into the greased oven safe dish, add in the macadamia nuts and chocolate chips and mix around. Then add more to top of batter.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 22-26 minutes or until golden brown. 

HOW TO STORE

Storing your Gluten Free White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Baked Oats properly will help maintain their freshness and flavor. Here’s how to do it:

1. Allow Them to Cool:Before storing your baked oats, allow them to cool to room temperature. This prevents condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can make the oats soggy.

2. Individual Servings: If you plan to enjoy the baked oats over several days for meal prep, consider portioning them into individual servings. This makes it easier to grab a serving when you’re ready to eat.

3. Airtight Container:Place the baked oats in an airtight container. A lidded glass or plastic container works well. Alternatively, you can use resealable food storage bags.

4. Refrigeration:For longer storage, store your baked oats in the refrigerator. They can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. Make sure the container is airtight to prevent any odors from the fridge from affecting the flavor.

5. Freezing (Optional):If you want to store your baked oats for an extended period, you can freeze them. Wrap individual portions in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or use freezer-safe containers. Baked oats can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Be sure to label and date the containers for easy identification.

6. Reheating:To reheat your baked oats, you can use the microwave or oven. For the microwave, place the individual portion on a microwave-safe plate and heat in 30-second intervals until heated through. To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), place the oats in an oven-safe dish, and cover with foil. Heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed.
