The Mise en Place
5 of 8Your prep station before cooking begins
The Spice Blend (0/1)
The Pantry (0/3)
The Finish (0/1)
My oats have little powdery lumps in them.
Ah, that's usually because the protein powder and milk weren't whisked together until perfectly smooth before adding the rest.
My oats are super thick, almost like glue, not creamy at all.
Sounds like it might be a bit too much chia or not quite enough liquid.
Chef's Notes
Stir well before eating to ensure uniform texture and flavor distribution.
Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
Prepare up to 3 days in advance and store in individual airtight containers in the refrigerator.
The Method
DISSOLVE
Mix milk (3 cups) + protein powder first until smooth.
Milk and protein powder are fully combined with no lumps.
BUILD
Stir in oats, yogurt, chia, salt, sweetener.
All ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
REST
Refrigerate overnight.
The mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
FINISH
Add toppings and a splash of milk (3 cups) if needed.
Toppings are added and the oats have reached desired consistency.
