INGREDIENTS
-
1/4 c oats
-
1-2 T chia, husk, or ground flax (1 T for husk powder)
-
1 serving The Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp cake batter extract (found at Walmart and on my Amazon shop)
-
sprinkle of pink salt
-
1 c milk of choice (used unsw cashew)
-
Icing

1 heaping Tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt or plain and add some flavored protein powder to sweeten
-
1 Tbsp creamer or milk of choice
-
2 drops cake batter extract
STEPS
-
-
Combine dry ingredients and whisk in milk until all mixed together. Use a larger cereal or soup bowl to avoid overflow in the microwave.
-
Microwave 1 minute. Open microwave door and close. Cook another minute, open microwave again and cook in 10 sec increments if needed, until set. I like mine gooey in the middle so 2 min worked total. There’s no right or wrong. You can also bake in the oven at 350° for 30 min or so depending on depth of dish. Mine usually takes 30 min in a glass cereal bowl.
-
Icing: Stir in small bowl and spoon over oats after removing from oven. I topped mine with sprinkles. I like more fat than this to keep me satiated so had 1 T almond butter too but totally up to you and your hunger.
