Don’t have cacao powder? Don’t worry! The key difference between cacao powder and cocoa powder is the cooking process – one is processed at a lower temperature, while the other (cocoa powder) is fermented and roasted for a less bitter taste. We recommend using whatever you have stocked in the pantry! Just be sure to check the label for any added sugar or dairy so that you can properly adjust the sweetness of the oats!

If you have a sweet tooth, go ahead and use a packet of stevia or your favorite sugar alternative for the oats. Otherwise, the sweetness provided by the protein will be plenty to satiate that sweet tooth! If you find that the stevia was a bit too much, the ¼ teaspoon of sea salt we used will definitely help balance it out! But if you have the sweetness right where you like it, feel free to omit the sea salt! When sampling, it added a nice bite to go with the steel cut oats and strong cocoa flavor from the powder.
You can double down on the chocolate flavor with chocolate protein powder like we used, or lighten the mood with vanilla protein powder! You can’t go wrong with a fool proof recipe like this! From the first bite I could tell this was a meal prep winner sure to stay in my rotation!
