Double Chocolate Protein Oat Bakes

There is something incredibly grounding about the scent of rich cocoa and toasted oats wafting through the house as you prep for the week ahead. As we lean into the "Slow Living" ritual of balanced habits, we’re looking for snacks that nourish our bodies without sacrificing that deep, chocolatey indulgence we crave.

Finding that "sweet spot" in healthy snacking is all about balance. We all know that feeling when an evening chocolate craving hits, often, it's our body’s way of asking for a bit more fuel. By prioritising your protein intake during the day, you can keep those blood sugar spikes at bay and minimise the late-night cupboard raids. These bakes are designed to be the ultimate "healthy swap", allowing you to enjoy a decadent treat while giving your body the protein it needs to stay satisfied and full.

For the Double Chocolate Protein Oat Bakes we use our moonmoon snack pots, to create perfectly portioned cakes. Whether you’re fueling up after a workout or looking for a sustainable way to enjoy a guilt-free dessert, these bakes are a must!

Plus our 400ml moonmoon snack pot also provides the ideal depth for a moist, cake-like consistency while remaining perfectly portable.

The Ingredients:

2 cups of oats (~180g)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder (~25g)
Chocolate chips (measure with your heart!)
1 tbsp chia seeds
4 tbsp Greek yoghurt
2 tbsp honey
2 eggs
A dash of milk

Method:

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined and glossy.
Pour the batter evenly into your moonmoon snack pots.
Bake at 180°C for 25–30 minutes until set and your kitchen smells like a chocolate dream.

Pro Tip: Once cooled, pop the silicone lid on for a "grab and go" snack that hits those chocolate cravings the healthy way. We’ve boosted the protein with chia seeds and Greek yoghurt, creating a dense, satisfying texture that keeps you fuller for longer. It’s the perfect way to have your cake, and eat your protein, too!

Happy baking!
