Notes
This recipe was tested with One Degree Gluten-Free Sprouted Rolled Oats and PE Science Chocolate Truffle Protein Powder.
Any old-fashioned rolled oats work well if you don’t have sprouted oats.
Adjust the almond milk for creamier or thicker oats based on preference.
For a dairy-free version, ensure your protein powder is plant-based.
Nutritional values may vary depending on the protein powder used.
