Easy Baked Cinnamon Swirl Protein Cake Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Swirl:
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon swirl layer and spread it evenly.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  12. Cut into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature. It can be served plain or with a drizzle of yogurt or additional honey.
