Chef's Note
This protein-rich oatmeal is a perfect alternative to pancakes while still providing a hearty, satisfying breakfast. For extra creaminess, let the oats soak in milk overnight in the refrigerator. The berry compote can be made ahead and stored for up to 5 days, making morning prep even quicker.
