PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with avocado oil or coconut oil.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.

• 3

  In a separate bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, liquid egg whites, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

• 4

  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture and stir well to ensure all the oats are hydrated.

• 5

  Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula to avoid crushing them.

• 6

  Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

• 7

  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set to the touch.

• 8

  Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5 minutes before serving to let the texture firm up.
