Collagen Cinnamon Pecan Baked Oatmeal
This baked oatmeal recipe will have you begging for more and feeling great while doing it.
Filled with collagen peptides, this baked oatmeal is a filling and well-rounded breakfast. The pecans and brown sugar over top really shine and bring out the cinnamon flavor.
I really wanted to make an oat-based recipe that was packed with protein but didn’t taste like it, if you know what I mean. Insert collagen peptides!
Collagen peptides are one of my go-to protein sources that can be added to smoothies, shakes, and baked goods. The powder has absolutely NO taste! However, it does have A LOT of benefits.
So, what is so special about this magic powder? I’m sure you have heard of collagen peptides at some point. They are commonly known to be a supplement that can be taken to improve skin, joint, hair, and nail health. Being that collagen is protein, it can also aid in stimulating muscle growth. They are also said to promote heart, gut, and brain health.
Honestly, as soon as I heard taking collagen could promote skin health and boost muscle mass, I was sold. I was skeptical, but I thought, why not try it? I’m very into strength training/weight lifting and love staying active. More often than not, I replenish my body with a protein shake after a workout. Collagen can easily be added to any protein shake for an extra protein boost or be the protein base of a shake. Regarding skin health, I seem to notice a *glow* when I consistently take collagen.
I will be making a more in-depth post about how I like to utilize collagen and my experience, soon. All positives! I’ve heard nothing but good things from others, as well.
Regarding brands that I trust that have collagen products, I would HIGHLY recommend Equip Foods and Vital Proteins. Please note these are affiliate links and I do make a small commission if you take action after clicking one of these.
Let’s get to cookin’ good lookin’! It’s hard not to devour this dish in one sitting, but it can be stored in the fridge for a few days afterward, which is especially good for meal prepping purposes. If you try this recipe, leave a comment below and let me know how it turned out! 🙂
