Ingredients

For the baked oats
- 2½ cups Rolled oats
- 1½ tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 scoop Raw Nutritional Cinnamon Roll Protein Powder
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2¼ cups Plant-based milk
- ¼ cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- A few Pecans, for topping
- Ground cinnamon, for topping
- Cooking spray or oil of choice

For the protein cashew frosting
- 1 cup Raw cashews*
- ¼ cup Plant-based yogurt (I used plain coconut yogurt)
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- ½ scoop Raw Nutritional Cinnamon Roll protein powder

Method

1- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2- In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.

3- Add the wet ingredients and mix again until well combined.

4- Spray an 8x8 baking dish with oil and pour in the oat mixture.

5- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes — 35 minutes for a softer texture, 40 for a firmer one.

6- While the oats are baking, prepare the cashew frosting by blending all the ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. For a firmer and colder frosting, it’s best to prepare it the night before.

7- Once baked, let the oats rest for about 10 minutes. Then top with the cashew frosting, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and pecans.

8- Cut into 8 pieces (or as desired) and enjoy!

Notes: *Soaking the cashews overnight or for 20 minutes in boiling water before blending helps a lot with the texture.
