How This Gluten-Free Churros Baked Oatmeal Recipe is Better

By using our Double Protein Oats as the base of this recipe, you get about 10g of protein and 7g of fiber per serving and more iron than typical oats.
We added a banana for more fiber and potassium.
Though this recipe is definitely a treat, the cinnamon helps keep your blood sugar from spiking.
Cinnamon also adds antioxidants and phytonutrients.
We use coconut sugar to keep the glycemic load low. You can omit the maple syrup or swap a few dates for the coconut sugar if you want to lower the sugar content.

INGREDIENTS

+ 1 cup oats

+ 2 tbsp coconut sugar

+ 1/2 tsp cinnamon

+ 1 tsp baking powder
