# What You’ll Need:
→ Batter
01 - 60 g rolled oats
02 - 2 egg whites (approximately 60 ml)
03 - 160 ml water
04 - 56 g vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a small loaf pan or two single-serving ramekins.

05 - Pour the remaining batter over and top with the remaining cinnamon swirl. Swirl again gently to create a visible pattern.
