- When ready to eat, give the oats a final stir.
- Adjust sweetener, if needed, to taste.

- Check on oats every 30 seconds to prevent getting too hot or overflowing.

Notes
Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture, as instant oats can become too mushy.
Shake the jar really well to ensure the protein powder is fully mixed in and prevent clumps.
For optimal creaminess and thickness, allow the oats to chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chia seeds to achieve your preferred oatmeal thickness.
