# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Add rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
04 - Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
05 - Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, evenly sprinkle sliced almonds and chia seeds over the surface.
06 - Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
07 - Allow the breakfast bake to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- 13 grams of protein per serving keeps you full through your busiest mornings without that heavy breakfast feeling
- The bright lemon and sweet blueberries taste like dessert but with nourishing ingredients you can feel good about
02 -
- Dont skip the cooling time—even 5 minutes makes the difference between a messy spoonful and perfect squares
- Frozen blueberries don't need thawing—folding them in frozen actually prevents them from turning everything purple
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients whisk together more smoothly and prevent any lumps from forming
- If your protein powder is particularly sweet, reduce the maple syrup to taste
