Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1⅓ cup milk
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • cup maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • cup pecans chopped
  • cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and set it aside.
