Ingredients
- 1 pouch 28 g Better Oats Oat Fit Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal with Flax
- 2 egg whites or about ¼ cup liquid egg whites
- 2/3 cup cold water
- Optional Toppings: chopped pecans, maple syrup, brown sugar, diced apple, raisins
Instructions
- Empty contents of pouch into a microwave safe bowl.
- Pour cold water into a measuring cup pouch until it reaches the fill line. That’s 2/3 of a cup. Stir water into bowl. Add egg whites to the bowl and use a whisk or fork to combine them with the oatmeal and water.
- Microwave on high for about 90 seconds (or up to 2 minutes), stirring every 20 seconds so that the egg whites are completely incorporated into the oats. This will give the oatmeal volume and you will not even be able to detect any of the egg.
- When the oatmeal reaches desired consistency, carefully remove hot bowl from the microwave. Stir again to blend. Let cool to taste. Garnish with optional toppings and enjoy!

Notes
- This is such a low calorie breakfast on its own, that I often double the recipe and use 2 packets of oatmeal and 4 egg whites for a more filling meal.
