As protein powder is different from oats, the dough may require some adaptations.
- Vegan protein powders and casein are more absorbent: you may need a pour of milk more, in case the dough is too thick.
- Whey protein powder mixes very well and dissolves easily: you may need to fix the dough with more oats.
