Notes
- Water Adjustment: If you prefer a thicker oatmeal, reduce the water slightly. For a creamier consistency, add a little more plant milk at the end.
- Protein Boost: You can increase the pea protein powder for even more protein, but it may slightly thicken the texture, just add a splash of extra plant milk if needed.
- Make It Overnight Oats: Skip the cooking step and mix everything in a jar. Let it sit in the fridge overnight for a cold, no-cook version.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the date syrup to taste. You can also swap it for maple syrup, agave, or a mashed Medjool date.
- Nut-Free Option: Omit the walnuts and peanut butter powder. The recipe will still be high in protein and delicious.
