Method
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract. Add a pinch of salt if you desire a more pronounced flavor profile.1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, Pinch salt
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally as it begins to warm up. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have softened and absorbed most of the liquid, creating a thick and creamy consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. This is crucial to prevent the protein powder from clumping or becoming rubbery. Add the scoop of chocolate protein powder and stir vigorously until it is completely smooth and well incorporated into the oatmeal. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.1 scoop (approximately 30g) chocolate protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- Stir in the tablespoon of peanut butter until it melts and blends into the oatmeal, adding a rich, nutty depth. Ensure it's evenly distributed for that classic Snickers flavor.1 tablespoon peanut butter
- Pour the finished oatmeal into a serving bowl.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts and chocolate chips evenly over the top of the oatmeal.1 tablespoon chopped peanuts, 1 tablespoon chopped sugar-free or dark chocolate chips
- For an extra touch of indulgence, add a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce, if using. Serve immediately and savor your flavorful, protein-packed breakfast.sugar-free caramel sauce
