Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup rolled or quick oats (certified gluten-free if desired)
  • ½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
  • ½ scoop chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • ½ cup plant-based milk (such as almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • Cooking spray (for greasing)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Ramekin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6-ounce ramekin with cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine ⅓ cup rolled oats, ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt, ½ scoop chocolate protein powder, ½ cup plant-based milk, ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon baking powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring even texture for baking.
  3. Pour and Top: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared ramekin. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar-free dark chocolate chips evenly on top to add bursts of chocolatey goodness.
  4. Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft and gooey, for that perfect, creamy texture.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey, rich chocolate flavor with high-protein nutrition.
