Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk of choice dairy or oat milk
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder about 50g
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter divided
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
  • 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp chopped peanuts for topping

Method
 

  1. **Cook.** Combine oats, milk, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring often, until creamy.
  2. **Sweeten.** Stir in vanilla and maple syrup off heat.
  3. **Protein.** Whisk in protein powder with 2 tbsp peanut butter until smooth. Add a splash more milk if too thick.
  4. **Melt.** In a small bowl microwave chocolate chips and remaining peanut butter 30 seconds. Stir until pourable.
  5. **Serve.** Divide oats between 2 bowls. Drizzle with the chocolate peanut butter sauce and sprinkle peanuts on top.

Notes

Use rolled oats not steel cut. Rolled oats cook in 5 minutes and turn creamy. Stir protein powder in off heat to keep the texture smooth and the protein intact. Pick a chocolate or chocolate peanut butter flavored protein powder for the strongest candy flavor.
