Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats (or quick oats)
  • 1 scoop (25–30 g) vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1/3 cup (80 g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1/3–1/2 cup (80–120 ml) milk of choice (start with 1/3 cup; add more if needed)
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for vegan)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste; use zero-cal sweetener if preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; do not thaw)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, a pinch of cinnamon, or 1 tablespoon mini white chocolate chips
  • For topping (optional): a few extra blueberries, a sprinkle of oats, or a light dusting of coarse sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven. Set to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10–12 oz ramekin or small oven-safe dish, or line a muffin tin if making multiple servings.
  2. Blend the base. In a blender, add oats, protein powder, Greek yogurt, milk, egg, sweetener, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and any optional lemon zest or cinnamon. Blend until smooth, about 20–30 seconds. The batter should be pourable but not thin; add a splash of milk if it feels too thick.
  3. Fold in blueberries. Pour the batter into a bowl and gently fold in blueberries to prevent streaking. If using frozen berries, add them straight from the freezer.
  4. Pour and top. Transfer to your prepared ramekin. Scatter a few extra blueberries on top and add a light sprinkle of oats or coarse sugar if you like a muffin-style finish.
  5. Bake. Bake for 22–28 minutes, until the top is set and lightly golden, and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake to keep it moist.
  6. Rest and serve. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy warm as is, or top with a spoonful of yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a smear of almond butter.
