Ingredient note: 45 grams of whey concentrate protein powder is equivalent to ½ cup.- Heat oven to 375. Prepare a 9 by 9 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Cool and roughly chop.
- In a large bowl, combine pecans, oats, whey protein, hemp hearts, chia seeds, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Melt the butter and drizzle 1 ½ tablespoons onto the oat mixture and stir to combine, setting remaining butter aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, syrup, and vanilla. Add to the oat mixture and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of blueberries along the bottom of the baking dish. Pour the oat mixture over the blueberries, and sprinkle the top with the remaining blueberries. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until top is golden and there is no wiggle when gently shaken. Remove from oven, let cool and drizzle the top with the remaining melted butter. Cut into 6 equal pieces and serve warm.
