Almond butter, peanut butter, or fruit jam would be equally on top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8230;And add all the toppings. <\/strong>To make the recipe even more decadent and antioxidant-rich, you can add in the likes of raspberries, dark chocolate chips, and\/or cacao nibs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe swaps are always an option. <\/strong>Out of bananas? Brady says you can substitute them with two eggs (one per serving) or a half cup of yogurt.<\/p>\n<h2>Blueberry muffin baked oats recipe<\/h2>\n<p>Yields 2 servings<\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients<\/em><\/p>\n<p>1 cup oats<br \/>1 banana<br \/>1\/2 cup vanilla protein powder<br \/>1 1\/2 tsp baking powder<br \/>2-3 tbsp maple syrup<br \/>3\/4 cup milk of choice<br \/>1\/4 cup blueberries<br \/>1 tbsp of your favorite nut butter or spread, optional<\/p>\n<p>1.
