Chocolate Strawberry Baked Oats

Chocolate Strawberry Baked Oats

Let me be honest — I had zero motivation this Monday morning. I tried to drag myself to the gym but ended up back under the covers instead 😴

So, I gave myself some grace, caught a few extra zzz's, and made something that felt like a little morning hug: these cozy Chocolate Strawberry Baked Oats.

They’re warm, fudgy, protein-packed, and bursting with the sweetness of strawberries. Basically, dessert for breakfast... but balanced enough to fuel your day 💪

When to Enjoy

Perfect for breakfast, especially on slow mornings or when you need a gentle start. Also great as a sweet post-lunch treat!

Ingredients

For the baked oats:

  • 50g instant oats (or blended oats)
  • 30g vanilla soy protein powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 150ml water (or milk of choice – almond, oat, soy, etc.)
  • ½ banana, mashed

Filling & Topping:

  • Chocolate protein spread (or melted chocolate)
  • A handful of fresh or frozen strawberries

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a bowl, mix together oats, protein powder, and baking powder. Add in your liquid and mashed banana. Stir until smooth.
  3. Lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekin, pour in about ¾ of the mixture.
  4. Add a spoonful of chocolate spread in the center and cover with the remaining batter.
  5. Top with chopped strawberries for a juicy, slightly caramelized finish.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden and firm.
  7. Let cool slightly & dig in with a big smile

Tips & Customizations

No protein powder? Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder + sweetener instead.

Vegan-friendly? Make sure to use plant-based protein, dairy-free milk, and spread.

Want it gooey? Bake for slightly less time and dig in while warm!

Extra indulgent? Add a drizzle of peanut butter or chocolate sauce on top ✨

Why I Love This

Because Mondays are hard enough. This recipe feels like comfort food without the crash — it’s naturally sweet, creamy in the center, and gives you energy without weighing you down.

Pair it with a cup of coffee or matcha, and your day is instantly better.
