Super Easy Apple Pie Protein Baked Oats

We all know the struggle of finding a breakfast the whole family will eat and that's nutritious. Well, that's where apple pie protein baked oats shine! They use no protein powder but still pack in 24g of protein and 6g of fiber, and our toddler devours them! We use both shredded and diced apple to really infuse that flavor throughout and make it less likely the kiddo will try to pick something out.

Ingredients

Oats

2 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
2 apples honeycrisp or similar (reserve ½ for topping)
1.5 cups Greek yogurt plain, non-fat, or plant-based Greek style
1 cup egg whites
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup hemp seeds
2 tablespoon maple syrup or agave
1 cup skim milk or soy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1.5 cup Greek yogurt use for topping each slice after baking (¼ cup on each slice)

Cinnamon Topping

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup coconut sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter melted, vegan as needed
1 pinch salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Shred the 2 apples using a cheese grater but reserve ½ of an apple for topping. Then, mix them along with the 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup egg whites, 1.5 cups Greek yogurt, ¼ cup chia seeds, ¼ cup hemp seeds, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 cup skim milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ½ tsp salt in the baking dish until everything is well combined. A whisk is helpful for this!
In a medium-sized bowl, make the crumble topping by mixing together the ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup coconut sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted), and 1 pinch salt. It's easiest to do this with your hands. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
Then, spread it on top of the mixed oats in the baking dish.
Dice your remaining ½ apple very small and sprinkle on top of the oats. Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve each piece with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top and enjoy! You can also add other toppings like more apples, nuts, and maple syrup.

Notes

Storage

Fridge: Keep it in an air-tight container for up to 6 days.

Freezer: You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Although the chopped apples change texture when thawed.

Reheating: Reheat slices in the microwave preferably from cold but not from frozen.

The best apples to use are any crisp and slightly tart apple you love!

For picky eaters, peel the apples and leave off the chunks of apple on top.
