# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of sea salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency.
02 -
Remove the cooked oats from heat. Immediately whisk in 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder (approx. 30g), 1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder until fully combined and smooth. This creates the rich brownie batter base for your Start Your Day with High Protein Brownie Batter Oats.
03 -
Stir in 1 tbsp pure maple syrup and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract. These ingredients enhance the sweetness and depth, making your Start Your Day with High Protein Brownie Batter Oats truly decadent. Ensure everything is well incorporated into the warm mixture.
04 -
Fold in 1 tbsp chia seeds. The chia seeds will absorb some liquid and contribute to a thicker, more pudding-like texture as the oats cool slightly. Stir well to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture for added fiber and healthy fats.
05 -
Transfer the warm brownie batter oats to your serving bowl. For the best Start Your Day with High Protein Brownie Batter Oats experience, serve immediately while still warm and comforting, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
06 -
Top your delicious oats with 1 tbsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tbsp creamy almond butter. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt for an extra touch of gourmet flavor and texture. Enjoy your high-protein breakfast!
# Notes:
01 -
For an even thicker, more pudding-like consistency, prepare the oats the night before and let them chill in the refrigerator overnight. You can gently reheat them or enjoy cold.
02 -
Feel free to swap almond milk for any milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy). Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar, adjusting to your preferred sweetness.
03 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Add a splash of milk when reheating if they become too thick.
04 -
Boost the protein further by adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top before serving.
