Storage instructions
You can store the extra oatmeal in the ramekin you cooked it in (but covered) for about 2 days.
Equipment
You need a blender for this recipe. I love my vitamix. A smaller blender actually works better for this if you have one because it blends the oats up better.
I recommend 8 ounce ramekins for this recipe.
Recipe Pro-Tips
Cooking times can vary so make sure you check on your oats. I cooked mine for 22 minutes and for me this worked personally.
Make sure that you use a good tasting protein powder that you like. I love truvani protein powder.

I baked today but unfortunately my came up very liquidy. I split it between two 8oz ramekins otherwise it would have leaked. It was good but I guess it is better to weight the protein rather than measuring in cups.
