Notes
If you follow the recipe exactly as listed, these come out very thick with a doughy, batter-like consistency. For best results, please follow the recipe and measure your ingredients using a kitchen scale.
Note the Vega serving size (44 g) is larger than most other protein brands. Check the label and note the scoop size in grams.
Depending on the protein powder used and your taste preference, you may or may not want extra sweetener. Mix up the oats and taste. If you prefer them sweeter, you can use stevia for a sugar-free optional or maple syrup or honey to sweeten to taste.
For extra thickening, you can add 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flax to the recipe.
