FAQs
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can blend the batter the night before. Just give it a quick whisk before using it. This makes your morning routine even faster.
What if I don’t have oat flour?
You can make your own by blending rolled oats. Simply blend them until they reach a fine powder consistency. It works perfectly for this recipe.
Can I use plant-based protein?
Plant-based proteins can be a bit more absorbent than whey. You might need an extra splash of milk to thin it out. Keep an eye on the consistency.
Stop settling for boring breakfasts and start fueling your body with flavor. You are going to love how these make you feel!
