Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup protein powder (plant-based or whey)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled or quick oats
- 1 1/4 cups soy milk (or any milk)
Sweeteners and Spices:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 2–4 tablespoons brown sugar (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or a light coating of oil.
- Combine milk, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and fully integrated.
- Gradually fold in rolled oats, protein powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar, stirring until the mixture reaches a dense, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread and compress the batter evenly across the surface.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown coloration and firm texture.
- Remove from oven and allow the flapjacks to cool completely at room temperature, which helps them set and maintain structural integrity.
- Once thoroughly cooled, slice into uniform squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
- For an optional decadent touch, melt dark or milk chocolate and delicately drizzle over the cooled flapjacks in an artistic pattern.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality protein powder with a neutral flavor to maintain the classic flapjack taste without overpowering other ingredients.
- Swap peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for those with nut allergies or different flavor preferences.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on desired sweetness level, using honey or agave as alternative liquid sweeteners.
- Line baking tin with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner cutting of flapjacks.
