Place a large bowl over a digital scale and add 5 cups or 400 G of rolled oats.

Add 4 scoops or 120 G of vanilla whey protein powder, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons or 6 G of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon or 3 G of salt to the oats and mix until no clumps remain.

In a second bowl over the scale, mash 4 medium-sized bananas or 400 G until smooth.

Crack 4 eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas.

Add 3 tablespoons or 45 G of maple syrup and 4 teaspoons or 56 G of melted butter to the banana and egg mixture.

Microwave the butter for 30 seconds to liquefy it before adding.

Add 3 and 1/2 cups or 840 G of whole milk to the wet ingredients.

Add 1 cup or 112 G of chopped walnuts to the mixture.

Stir the contents of the bowl together, ensuring the eggs are well incorporated.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix to combine.

Spray a 13x9 inch casserole dish liberally with oil.

Dump the oat mixture into the casserole dish and spread it evenly.

Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 55 to 60 minutes.

While the oatmeal is baking, prepare the peanut butter drizzle by microwaving 3 tablespoons or 48 G of peanut butter to loosen it up.

Add 3 tablespoons or 45 G of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon or 1.5 G of cinnamon to the peanut butter and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Transfer the peanut butter mixture into a Ziploc bag to use as a piping bag.

After the oatmeal is finished baking, check that it's firm to the touch in the center.

Pass a knife around the perimeter of the pan to help it release from the edges and let it cool for a bit before cutting.

Cut the baked oatmeal into 5 or 10 equal servings, pairing smaller pieces with larger ones if needed.

Top the oatmeal with the peanut butter drizzle after cutting.
