Ingredients
Shopping & prep checklist
0 of 12
Old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups (180 g)
Unsweetened applesauce
1 cup (245 g)
Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
¾ cup (170 g)
Vanilla protein powder
1 scoop (30 g)
Eggs
2 large
Chopped apple
1 medium-large (about 150 g)
Chopped pecans
¼ cup (28 g)
Honey
2 tablespoons (42 g)
Baking powder
1 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoons
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Salt
⅛ teaspoon
Instructions
1. Preheat and prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the wet ingredients
Whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the protein powder.
3. Add the dry ingredients
Stir in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold in the chopped apple and pecans. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the oats absorb some moisture.
4. Bake
Spread evenly in the baking dish. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. If the center is still wet, bake a few minutes longer.
5. Cool and serve
Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before cutting into 9 squares. Enjoy warm or chilled, on its own or with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.

Nutrition is approximate and varies by protein powder, yogurt, apple size, and ingredient brands.
A note on the protein: These numbers are estimates, and the protein figure may be higher or lower depending on your ingredients. With 2 eggs, ¾ cup Greek yogurt, and a full scoop of protein powder, this recipe will often provide more than 10 g of protein per serving. Check your specific labels for the most accurate totals.
Easy ways to make it even better
For more protein: Serve with an extra ¼ cup of Greek yogurt, or use a higher-protein powder.
For less sugar: Reduce the honey to 1 tablespoon. The apples and applesauce still contribute natural sugars.
For extra crunch: Sprinkle a few additional pecans over the top before baking.
For meal prep: Refrigerate covered portions for up to 4 days, or freeze individual squares for up to 3 months. Refrigerate within 2 hours of baking and reheat until hot.
My favorite way to serve it is slightly warm with a dollop of cold Greek yogurt and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon. It tastes like apple pie for breakfast, but with oats, fruit, nuts, and protein.
