Kitchen Tools

• Saucepan

• Whisk or spoon

Ingredients

• 200 ml / 7 fl oz dairy milk (or plant-based alternative if preferred)

• 15 g / about 2 tablespoons oat flour

• 20 g / about 2.5 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla flavour recommended)

• 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

• Sweetener of choice (maple syrup, honey, or stevia)

Instructions

1. Heat the base: Pour the milk into a saucepan and whisk in the oat flour. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

2. Sweeten to taste: Add your preferred sweetener and continue stirring.

3. Add protein: Once the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency (similar to custard), stir in the protein powder. Cook for one more minute, ensuring it is fully dissolved.

4. Garnish and serve: Pour into a bowl and dust with cocoa powder. Enjoy warm.

Serving Ideas

• Top with fresh berries or sliced banana

• Add a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness

• Sprinkle with cinnamon or vanilla powder for more flavour depth

Storage

Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
