      Have you tried this with oat milk? I just read about almond milk hurting honey bees so I’ve switched to oatmilk.

      ???sigo preguntando, por Dios que cantidad de diferencias tenemos los americanos y los europeos, solo en lo culinario porque en lo demás tenemos lo mismo, 2 piernas, 2 brazos etc, etc y políticos corruptos ???. Qué es avena antigua?. La que yo compro es avena en el Lidl (supermercado alemán, me encanta) hay que cocerla ú hornearla.
      Hermosa niña, gracias por tu paciencia, tiempo y respuesta. ???

      For extra protein can we add a scoop of whey protein powder?

        Sure! I don’t see why not! I would probably mix it with the liquid before adding.

      Can this be made with steel cut oats? I have a big box of that and I don’t come across many recipes that call for it 🙁
