Salted Caramel Baked Oats

I got some new protein powder and it’s so tasty I knew I wanted to use it in a breakfast dish. It goes so nicely in these baked oats and is the perfect way to up your protein in the morning. I’ve seen loads of people cooking baked oats in the air fryer and whilst I’ve tried it and it works, I much prefer the finish to the top when baked in the oven. You can top this with a drizzle of whatever you fancy. The points/calories listed are based on 1 tsp of maple syrup so just adjust if you prefer peanut butter or sugar free caramel syrup.
