Protein Apple Oatmeal Bake This was one of the first concoctions I ever created using all natural ingredients to make a satisfying and flour-free healthy snack.  And it's still one of my favs because of how easy, deliciously moist and well-balanced it is.  You could also make muffins from it, but I love the ease of pouring it into a baking pan and then cutting into good sized squares that can be individually frozen and pulled out anytime for a balanced breakfast or snack on-to-go.   1 cup low-fat almond milk 4 egg whites or ½ cup liquid whites ½ cup non-fat greek yogurt ½ unsweetened apple sauce 3 2 4 3 1 3 2 1 scoops vanilla protein powder cups quick oats tbsp ground flax seed tbsp chia seeds tsp baking soda tbsp cinnamon apples chopped cup frozen or fresh blueberries Spray 9x12 casserole dish, preheat oven to 350.
