Protein Oatmeal

A nutritious and delicious oatmeal breakfast packed with protein and customizable toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 banana, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the water, milk, and salt to a boil over medium heat.
  2. While waiting for the liquid to boil, dissolve the protein powder with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Once the liquid has boiled, reduce the heat to low. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and light brown sugar to the saucepan, stirring gently.
  4. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and fold in the dissolved protein powder and sliced bananas.
  6. Cover and let the mixture rest for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Divide into two bowls and serve immediately, optionally garnished with a dash of cinnamon.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the oats before adding liquid. Customize with nuts or fruit toppings as desired.
