Cinnamon Bun High Protein Oatmeal (dairy-free)
Description
The Cinnamon Bun High Protein Oatmeal uses rolled oats cooked gently in almond milk with maple syrup and vanilla extract, then swirled with a blend of melted dairy-free butter, cream cheese, cinnamon, and additional maple syrup. Mixing in egg whites and collagen powder enriches the protein content and creates a creamy consistency without dairy. This approach yields a smooth, comforting oatmeal reminiscent of a cinnamon bun, with a balance of mild sweetness and warm spice.
Egg whites must be incorporated while cooking to ensure the oatmeal thickens properly without clumping, and the collagen should be added off heat to avoid texture issues. The dairy-free butter and cream cheese need to be soft or melted to blend cleanly into the oatmeal before serving. This recipe works well as a fulfilling breakfast or snack, providing protein and complex carbohydrates with a cinnamon-spiced twist.
For added texture and flavor, toppings like toasted pecans or almond butter can be included. The recipe is adaptable with any dairy-free butter or cream cheese alternatives.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats gluten-free, regular
- 1.25 cups almond milk
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ cup collagen powder
- ⅓ cup egg white
- cinnamon swirl
- 1 tbs dairy-free butter
- 2 tbs maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tbs dairy-free cream cheese
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine the oats, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla.
- Heat over medium to low until a rolling boil starts.
- Mix in the egg whites and cook for 2-4 minutes.
- Remove from the element and mix in the collagen powder.
- Portion the oatmeal into bowls and whisk together the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cream cheese.
- Swirl in the cream cheese mixture into each bowl and enjoy.
Notes
- Use regular rolled oats instead of instant for better texture and to prevent clumping.
- Mix collagen powder immediately after cooking to avoid clumps in the oatmeal.
- Ensure dairy-free butter is melted and cream cheese is very soft for smooth mixing.
- Optional toppings such as toasted pecans or drizzled almond butter add extra flavor and texture.
