Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup liquid egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener (or preferred zero-calorie sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese (for frosting)
  • 23 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk (for frosting)
  • 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg whites, vanilla extract, and monk fruit sweetener until well combined. Then, stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak.
  2. Bake the Oatmeal: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. Pour the soaked oat mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set. Let it cool slightly after baking.
  3. Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, combine the fat-free cream cheese, monk fruit sweetener, and almond milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Serve: Drizzle the frosting over the baked oatmeal, slice it into 9 pieces, and enjoy this deliciously cozy breakfast!

Notes

For a richer flavor, use flavored Greek yogurt or add chopped nuts. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days.
