Notes

High Protein Brownie Baked Oatmeal

As protein powder is different from oats, the dough may require some adaptations.

Vegan protein powder and casein are more absorbent: you may need to adjust with a pour of milk, in case the dough is too thick. I recommend almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk and cashew milk.
Whey protein powder mixes very well and dissolves easily: you may need to fix the dough with more oats.
