If you’re like me and you adore Maltesers and love a cosy bowl of oats in the morning, then this recipe is going to make your taste buds dance! I call this dreamy combo Malteser Proats protein oats that are rich, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweet. It’s got everything I love: creamy oats, a boost of protein, a hidden veggie (yes, courgette!), and of course, those crunchy Malteser bits on top.
Method
Oat Base Time
To start off, place 60g of oats into a small saucepan and pour in just enough water to cover the oats completely. Turn on the heat and bring the oats to a boil. As soon as it starts bubbling, add in the 40g of grated courgette (zucchini) and give it a good stir. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and let it gently cook. This helps the oats soak up the water while softening the courgette, making your base extra creamy and nutrient-packed.
Creamy Protein Boost
While the oats are cooking, prepare the protein mixture. In a separate small bowl or cup, add 20g of chocolate malted honeycomb whey protein and pour in 50ml of almond milk. Stir the mixture well until it becomes smooth and creamy almost like a paste. This step is super important to prevent any lumps when you add the protein to your hot oats.
Stir and Simmer
Once your protein mix is ready, slowly stir it into the oats on the stove. Keep the heat low and gently combine everything until fully incorporated. Let the oats continue to cook, stirring occasionally. If you prefer a thicker, mushier consistency (which I love!), let them simmer a bit longer. Feel free to splash in a little more water if the oats start to dry out. You’re aiming for that perfect creamy bowl.
Dress it Up
Once the oats have reached your favourite texture, it’s time to serve. Pour the warm, chocolatey oats into your favorite bowl. Top it off with 40g of frozen raspberries, a spoonful of 30g skyr yoghurt, and the hero of the recipe, Maltesers! You can leave them whole for that satisfying crunch or crush them slightly so they melt a bit on the warm oats. Either way, it’s a seriously delicious finish.

Notes
- Don’t rush the cooking! Let the oats simmer slowly for the best creamy texture.
- If using the microwave, watch it closely so it doesn’t overflow.
- Mix the protein powder with milk before adding it to the hot oats. This helps avoid clumps.
- Stir often while cooking to keep the oats from sticking to the pan or burning.
Serving Suggestions
- Add a drizzle of honey or chocolate sauce for extra sweetness
- Swap the raspberries with strawberries or banana slices
- Top with a sprinkle of cocoa nibs for more crunch
- Want extra creaminess? Stir in a spoonful of nut butter
