Another new fav for pre-post workout meal ❤️In this recipe I use guar gum to thicken the Tiramisu cream, only use this if needed. A lot of fat-free yoghurts tend to become watery when mixed. Alternatively, you can use normal fat yoghurt.
Recipe
Recipe
- 60g rolled or instant oats
- 200ml brewed coffee
- 20g @myprotein coconut whey protein powder
- Sweetener of your choice (I used sucralose)
- Pinch of salt
- 100g plain Greek yogurt
- Cocoa powder
- 1g Guar gum (optional)
Method
Proats Party Starter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your oats and milk. Blast them on high for 5 minutes (adjust the time slightly based on your microwave's wattage). Once cooked, stir in your protein powder, sweetener, and salt. Think of this as your birthday cake batter base! If you're feeling fancy, add a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra oomph.
Tiramisu Time: Now for the fun part! Top your creamy Proats base with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt. This is your "mascarpone" layer, adding a delightful tang and creaminess.
Cocoa Magic: Dust your Greek yogurt with cocoa powder, creating that iconic tiramisu look. Use a sieve for a light dusting, or get creative with stencils for fancy designs. Remember, it's your birthday cake, so have fun with it!
Top It Off!: This is where the celebration truly begins. Shower your Proats with a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles, bringing the birthday vibes to life. For an extra textural and flavor explosion, crumble those coconut cookies on top. Don't be shy with the toppings! Fresh berries, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut are all welcome additions.
- Enjoy
Tips & Variations:
- Proats Perfection: Like your oats a bit softer? Add a splash more milk after cooking. Looking for a sweeter treat? Adjust the sweetener to your taste.
- Dietary Twists: Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and protein powder. For a gluten-free version, choose certified gluten-free oats and cookies.
- Scaling Up (or Down): This recipe easily doubles or triples for a crowd. Need a single serving? Simply halve the ingredients.
- Protein Powder Party: Feeling adventurous? Experiment with other protein powder flavors like chocolate chip cookie dough or strawberry cheesecake.
FAQs:
- Can I use a different type of protein powder? Absolutely! Choose a flavor that complements the birthday cake theme or simply pick your favorite.
- What are some other topping ideas? Get creative! Fresh berries, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or even a drizzle of peanut butter are all delicious options.
- How can I make this recipe vegan? Use plant-based milk and protein powder, and opt for vegan yogurt alternatives like coconut yogurt or soy yogurt.
- Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time? Yes! Assemble the Proats the night before and store them in the fridge overnight. Add the yogurt, cocoa powder, and toppings just before serving.
- What if I don't have a microwave? No worries! Cook the oats and milk on the stovetop over medium heat until thickened, then proceed with the recipe as instructed.
