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

+ 1 pinch salt

+ 3/4 cup milk

+ 2 tbsp maple syrup

+ 1 tsp vanilla extract

+ 1 egg

+ 1 banana

+ 1 cup chocolate chips

+ 1/4 cup coconut sugar

+ 1 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375F.
Add oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, egg, and banana to blender.
Blend for 1 minute.
Pour into two 6 inch round baking pans or one 4×6 inch rectangular baking pan.
Pour chocolate chips onto center of oat mixture. Most will sink, but use a spoon to push down any that are exposed. It also helps to scoop some batter over top of them.
Mix cinnamon and coconut sugar until combined well and sprinkle over oats.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
