With its wholesome ingredients, this meal delivers a balanced macro profile—rich in complex carbs, healthy fiber, and a generous protein boost—making it ideal for post-workout recovery or a filling breakfast. It's versatile enough for meal prep, as you can make it ahead and enjoy warm or chilled throughout the week. To keep it vegan or gluten-free, simply swap in plant-based protein powder and gluten-free oats.

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.
