High-Protein Baked Oats

High-Protein Baked Oats

Baked oats are a revelation - super easy to throw together, they store well, and can be used to entertain guests. I added some extra protein for this recipe to balance out the macronutrient ratio (protein, fat, carbs). A great breakfast that feels like a treat!
