I genuinely don’t even know if I like Black Forest Gateau, or if I’ve even properly tried it, so not sure where this idea came from, but I swear to god, it is one of my favourite oat recipes as of yet.

Recipe

THE OATS
1/2 cup jumbo oats
Double amount of liquid (I used a mixture of water and milk)
2 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp sweetener of choice
2 tsp chocolate protein powder
Big pinch of salt

THE TOP
1/4 cup mixed frozen berries/ frozen cherries
Plain yogurt
Smooth almond butter
Cacao nibs

Method

  1. Microwave your oats, with the liquid, cocoa powder, and sweetener of choice, for 2 minutes, in intervals of 30 seconds, stirring in between.

  2. Before the last 30 second interval, stir through your protein powder, then set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Microwave your mixed berries/ cherries for 1 minute until fully defrosted

  4. Top your oats with your yogurt of choice, then the berries, then the cacao nibs, and serve

  5. You can also leave this in the fridge for 30 mins or overnight if you’d prefer to have them like overnight oats

Notes + Variations:

If you don’t have protein powder, you can add 2 egg whites before you cook your oats, and add some extra chocolate powder & sweetener to taste.
Ps. You can switch up the berries/ fruit as you please.
