Protein Packed Brownie Baked Oatmeal

0 Preheat the oven to 350* F.
1 Add the milk, eggs, maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk until the peanut butter is well combined and the eggs are fully whisked.
2 Add the oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder and salt to the bowl and whisk to combine well.
6 Fold the cottage cheese into the batter.
3 Let the baked oat mixture sit for about 5 minutes to lightly absorb some of the liquid and give it a final stir.
4 Lightly grease a 11x9-inch baking dish. Pour the oat mixture into the dish. Using a spatula spread the oats evenly into the dish. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt if desired. 
5 Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the baked oatmeal is cooked through. Let cool.
