Notes
For gluten-free oats, ensure you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
If omitting protein powder, you may want to add an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder for richer flavor.
Heating in the microwave is optional; these are also delicious cold.
Store in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
