Ingredients

FOR OATS

  • ½ cup certified gluten free oats
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • cup almond milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 strawberries chopped up

FOR CHEESECAKE FROSTING

  • cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar - can use sugar-free

TOPPINGS

  • More strawberries
  • Graham wafers gluten free

Instructions

  • Prepare the oat flour by blending gluten-free oats until finely ground. This ensures a smooth, cake-like texture.
  • Combine all ingredients for oats except for the strawberries in a blender or mixing bowl. Blend or whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  • Transfer the batter to a greased oven-safe dish. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring even distribution.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 22-26 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
  • Prepare the cheesecake frosting while the oats bake. Slightly melt the cream cheese, then mix it with Greek yogurt and powdered sugar. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
  • Remove the baked oats from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before adding the frosting.
  • Top with the cheesecake frosting, fresh strawberries, and crushed graham wafers for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve warm and enjoy. Perfect as a single-serving breakfast or a make-ahead option for busy mornings.
