These protein baked oats are a simple, healthy, and tasty way to meal prep breakfast for the next 4 days. These baked oat bars are gluten-free, sugar-free, and lower in fat, while still being packed with protein and flavor.

This is a savory variant with a Greek yogurt and taco seasoning base. For a sweet yogurt version, check out my Yogurt High Protein Baked Oats.

Notes

I have not yet tested this with whey or casein instead of pea protein.
I'm using a 9" square baking pan for a full batch of 4 baked oat bars. For a half batch (2 bars), use a 9x5" bread pan. For a quarter batch (1 bar), use a 2 cup glass container. Baking times will remain the same for all 3 sizes.
