Air-fryer baked chocolate chip protein oats

Easy

8 minutes "This is my favourite way to start the morning, and it fills me up until lunch and more. I’ve recently got back into hitting the gym – not sure how long it will last – but I’m enjoying the routine of going to lift some weights. I try to go early in the morning, then afterwards, as soon as I’m back home, these protein-rich oats kick-start my recovery. Once done, I’m raring to go for the rest of the day." – Dean Edwards
Ingredients
Method
- 80 g rolled oats
- 35 g protein powder
- 1 egg
- 1 small banana, peeled and chopped
- 120 ml milk
- 1 t cocoa powder
- 30 g desiccated coconut
- ½ t baking powder
- a little vegetable oil, for the dish
- 30 g chocolate chips
- Biscoff biscuit spread, melted, to serve (optional)
Method
Ingredients
1. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
2. Blitz all the ingredients, apart from the chocolate chips, in a mini blender or food processor, then pour into a small greased baking dish measuring about 14 × 10 cm (51/2 × 4 inches), or two smaller individual dishes.
3. Scatter over the chocolate chips, then cook in the air fryer drawer for 8 minutes. I like to finish mine with a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread.
Cook's note: A little protein powder might not be an everyday ingredient, but it’s great for keeping you feeling fuller longer, as well as for eating after a workout, to help repair your muscles.
