# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like candy but keeps you full for hours thanks to the protein and fiber working together.
  • You wake up to breakfast already made, no blender or stove required, just grab and go.
  • The ganache swirl makes it feel indulgent enough to satisfy any chocolate craving without guilt.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling time, I tried eating it after two hours once and it was soupy and disappointing, four hours minimum is the magic number.
  • Natural peanut butter can separate in the jar, so stir it well before measuring or you'll end up with oily oats.
  • If you use protein powder, add a splash more milk because it absorbs liquid and can make the mixture too thick.
03 -
  • Use a clear jar so you can see the gorgeous ganache layers, it makes breakfast feel like an event.
  • Warm the peanut butter slightly before mixing if it's too thick, it'll blend smoother and coat the oats better.
  • Double the ganache if you're a serious chocolate lover, I won't judge.
