3

Remove from heat and stir in the protein powder until fully incorporated. Add a splash more liquid if needed.

Transfer to a bowl and top with almond butter, sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

5

Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My oatmeal recipes are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
