How to Make Protein Biscoff Baked Oats
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg and semi-skimmed milk, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
Crumble one Lotus Biscoff biscuit and sprinkle it evenly over the batter in your baking dish for added crunch.
Bake the oats in the air fryer or an over until it is golden and set.
Microwave the Biscoff spread for 20-30 seconds until melted. Drizzle it over the baked oats once cooled slightly for a smooth finish.
Top the baked oats with the second Lotus biscuit for an indulgent crunch and serve warm.
Tips
- Don’t Overbake. Keep an eye on the oats to prevent them from drying out.
- Let Cool Slightly. Allow the oats to rest for a minute before drizzling the spread for the best presentation.
- Use Rolled Oats. For the best texture, stick with rolled oats instead of instant oats.
- Even Biscuit Distribution. Sprinkle the crumbled biscuit evenly over the batter for consistent flavour.
- Avoid Overheating Biscoff Spread. Heat the Biscoff spread in the microwave in short intervals to prevent it from turning hard or clumping.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Add Water Instead of Milk: For a dairy-free or lighter version, replace the semi-skimmed milk with an equal amount of water.
- Add Fruit: Replace the Biscoff biscuit topping with sliced bananas, strawberries, or blueberries for a naturally sweet and fresh alternative.
- Change the Protein Powder Flavour: Experiment with chocolate, caramel, or cinnamon protein powders to create new flavour profiles.
Storage
Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving to restore the soft texture and warm flavour.
Frequently Asked Questions
