These easy chocolaty protein oat crumble will satisfy your craving for chocolate and added protein will keep you full for longer!
Oh hello, delicious breakfast!
I often used to make baked oats to get organized and meal prep for the week ahead, but I’d gotten out of the habit and hadn’t made them for a while.
The need for some morning comfort food has brought me right back to this easy and delicious meal.
This meal simply feels like eating dessert for breakfast! Nothing wrong with that!
Use this oatmeal topping for any kind of crumble: in Summer with any stone fruit or red fruit, it’s absolutely delicious, or in Autumn with pear and/or apple. . Oat brings a delicious taste and a crunchy texture that contrasts with the sweet and smooth baked fruits. I like to change the flavor of the topping too by adding different liquids or protein powders.
To be honest I am not a big fan of adding protein powders to food. However, there are days when oats are not filling me up! ( usually right after leg day 😉).
As much as I absolutely love plain old-fashioned oatmeal- oatmeal typically isn’t very high in protein! For those of you that think oatmeal isn’t very filling or you’re hungry 1 hour after eating it, all you need to do is add some protein and probably a portion of some healthy fats.
There aren’t many vegan protein powders that I like. They all taste powdery and usually have tones of additives and sweeteners to make up the taste.

Key ingredients and substitute:
Frozen berries -I used frozen blueberries but most fresh or frozen fruit can work. Delicious apples would be also delicious, however, I Would soften them before making the crumble.
Rolled Oats – I used gluten-free rolled oats. Quick oats also can work for this crumble. Flahavanas are my absolutely favorite oats.
Plant-Based Protein Powder – I recommend using your favorite protein powder in a neutral flavor. However, do note that the brand of protein powder you use can impact how much liquid you need.
Plant-based Milk: This will help add moisture to the crumble topping, and you can use any plant-based milk you like. However, I love using past milk.
Nut Butter – I used hazelnut butter you can absolutely use any nut butter you like.
Raw cacao – I love adding raw cacao to my recipes. Adding raw cacao not only enhances the rich chocolate flavor but also provides a significant antioxidant boost, supporting your body in neutralizing free radicals. Additionally, raw cacao is linked to potential mood-boosting effects, thanks to its natural compounds like theobromine and phenylethylamine.

Fresh Toppings for Texture – For an extra layer of texture on this protein oat crumble consider adding freshly chopped nuts or seeds as a topping.

Frequently asked questions:
Can this be meal prepped in advance?
Yes! It is the perfect meal to meal prep. Just double or triple the recipe to your needs

No, however, the corn starch helps thicken the blueberry mixture as it bakes, creating a syrupy consistency that complements the crispiness of the oat topping. DELICIOUS

Yes just make sure that you use gluten-free oats and if you check the ingredients list on your protein powder.
