The ingredients to make Oreo Chocolate Oatmeal
- Rolled oats – any kind works but I prefer this one because they are thicker and have a chewier texture. Feel free to use quick oats but make sure to add less water!
- Oat flour – I like to add oat flour because it thickens your oats! Giving a sticky consistency.
- Granulated sweetener of choice – I use erythritol, which is a sugar substitute. Feel free to use stevia, monkfruit, or any of choice.
- Unsweetened cacao powder – Make sure to use an unsweetened cacao powder because you will be adding the sweetener.
- Chocolate protein powder – The protein powder is completely optional, but I like to add it for the extra amount of protein.
- Pinch of salt – So important on chocolate recipes because it enhances the flavor like crazy!
- Milk of choice – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk.
- Plain yogurt – (optional) I used greek yogurt! Adding yogurt to oats give them a creamy consistency!
- Banana – For the potassium and natural sweeteness
- Oreos – Star of the movie
- Water
