Hey there! If you’re a fan of indulging in chocolatey goodness while keeping things healthy, this Chocolate Raspberry Oats recipe is about to be your new favorite breakfast! Inspired by @thefitlondoner’s gorgeous oats, I’ve added my own twist with a creamy white chocolate protein spread that takes these oats to the next level. Whether you’re looking for a quick, energizing start to your day or need a post-workout treat, these oats are a delicious and nutritious option. Let’s get into how you can make them!
Method
Cook the Oats
Start by placing the 60g of oats into a microwaveable bowl. Add enough water to cover the oats completely. Once the water is in, microwave the oats for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t boil over. The oats should be soft and ready to absorb the other ingredients once they are done.
Prepare the Protein Paste
While the oats are cooking, take a separate bowl and mix 20g of chocolate cookies whey isolate with 50ml of almond milk. Stir this mixture well until it forms a smooth paste. This protein paste will add both flavor and protein to your oats, giving them that extra creamy and indulgent texture.
Combine the Oats and Protein Paste
Once your oats are cooked, remove them from the microwave and stir in the grated courgette. The courgette not only adds a subtle texture but also makes the oats extra creamy without changing the flavor. Then, add your protein paste to the oats. Stir everything together until the paste is fully incorporated, ensuring the oats are rich and creamy. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a little more water or almond milk to achieve your desired consistency. Microwave the oats for another 1 minute and 30 seconds, allowing everything to meld together.
Add the Toppings
Once your oats are done, it’s time to add the toppings. Sprinkle the 40g of frozen raspberries over the oats for that burst of fruity sweetness. Then, top it off with 20g of the white chocolate protein spread. The protein spread adds a creamy, chocolatey touch that elevates the dish. Stir everything together to get a smooth, flavorful bowl of oats, and you’re ready to enjoy this delicious, healthy breakfast!
