Questions about this recipe

Do I need protein powder?

No. The protein in this recipe comes from eggs, yoghurt and oats. The figures panel shows the per-serving total for the weights as written.

Can I make the batter the night before?

The oats thicken as they soak, so loosen the batter with a splash of milk in the morning and cook as normal.
