Notes
- This recipe was updated 11/05/2024; see blog section above for original recipe.
- I like organic quick cooking rolled oats best
- For protein powder I use 3 scoops vanilla and 3 scoops plain
- Depending on the oats you use, your dough might be more wet. You can add more protein powder or oats if it’s too wet.
- No electrolytes on hand? no problem! Just add a teaspoon of sea salt instead.
