Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal
Description
This recipe cooks rolled oats in unsweetened vanilla almond milk until the oats become creamy and tender. Chocolate protein powder is stirred in after cooking to dissolve completely, enhancing the dish with additional chocolate flavor and protein. The oatmeal is then topped with a natural peanut butter spoonful, introducing a smooth, nutty layer, and optional chocolate chips for small sweet bites.
The preparation can be done in the microwave or on the stovetop. Microwaving involves heating oats and almond milk incrementally while stirring until the desired consistency develops. The stovetop method simmers oats and almond milk over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until creamy. Both methods yield a comforting, creamy texture.
This oatmeal suits a nutritious breakfast, providing warmth and sustaining energy from oats and protein. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter brings familiar flavors without added refined sugar beyond the protein powder's sweetness. It can be customized by adjusting cooking time or topping choices.
To make stovetop, use slightly more almond milk and cook longer for creaminess. Be cautious of bowl temperature when microwaving. Stir protein powder in thoroughly to avoid clumps.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 3/4 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 1/2 chocolate protein powder
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter for topping, natural
- 1 teaspoon chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Microwave: Add oats and almond milk into a bowl and stir to combine. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir and continue to microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until the oatmeal is the consistency you like. I usually cook for a total of 3 minutes, but you'll know it's done when most the liquid is absorbed and oats are hot.
- Add protein and enjoy: Carefully remove from microwave (bowl will be hot). Stir protein powder into oats until completely dissolved and top with peanut butter and chocolate chips, if using.
Notes
- For stovetop preparation, use 1 cup almond milk with 1/2 cup oats and cook 7-10 minutes, stirring often.
- Adjust cooking time to reach preferred oatmeal consistency; longer cooking results in creamier texture.
- Be careful when removing from microwave as the bowl can be hot.
- Stir protein powder well into cooked oats to prevent lumps and ensure even flavor distribution.
