Tips and Tricks:
- Allow oats to soak in the liquid for a short time before baking. This ensures they absorb moisture evenly.
- Mix the protein powder with the dry ingredients to prevent clumping. Ensure thorough mixing to avoid any powdery texture in the final dish.
- Choose high-quality protein powder to boost protein content.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries work well; ensure they are evenly distributed.
