Easy and delicious chocolate peanut butter baked oatmeal that's filled with energizing carbohydrates, healthy fats, and protein.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana with the back of a fork until smooth and minimal lumps remain. Add milk, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Add oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix until combined. Pour oatmeal into prepared baking pan. (Optional): Sprinkle over chocolate chips.
Bake for 25 minutes until top is set and edges start to pull away from pan. You'll know when the oatmeal is done if it doesn't jiggle or seem wet. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. I like to enjoy this oatmeal with a drizzle of creamy peanut butter!
