Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small baking dish (approximately 6-inch square or equivalent).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, collagen peptides powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold until just incorporated; avoid overmixing for optimal texture.

  5. 5

    Fold in the blueberries, then pour the batter into the prepared dish. Bake for 28–32 minutes until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing; serve warm for a cake-like texture or let fully cool for a denser bar.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The most defining ingredient is the collagen peptides powder, which adds a unique protein boost and differentiates these oats from traditional baked oat recipes. The fresh blueberries also provide flavor and moisture for a cake-like texture.
Q. How can I prevent baked oats from becoming dry or overbaked?
For the best texture, avoid overbaking—start checking the oats at the 28-minute mark and remove them from the oven as soon as the center is set but still moist. Letting them cool for about 5 minutes allows them to firm up without drying out.
Q. What is the protein content and protein-to-carb ratio of this recipe?
Each serving provides 22g of protein and 36g of carbohydrates, resulting in a strong protein-to-carb ratio ideal for a pre-workout meal. The protein makes up approximately 25% of total calories, while carbs deliver 42%.
Q. Which ingredient brings the most flavor to these baked oats?
Fresh blueberries contribute bursts of tart-sweet flavor and juiciness, while the maple syrup and vanilla extract add warmth and aroma that elevate the baking oats beyond the ordinary.
