Protein Oatmeal
Description
This Protein Oatmeal recipe starts by cooking rolled oats with sliced banana, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and water or milk. The oats are stirred occasionally as they cook over medium-high heat until the liquid is absorbed and the oats become thick and fluffy, with the bananas melting into them, contributing natural sweetness and creaminess.
Once cooked, protein powder is stirred in to add additional protein and flavor. The oatmeal can be topped as desired, making it a versatile and filling breakfast choice.
The recipe notes mention the banana is optional, allowing for a less sweet version if preferred.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ banana sliced
- pinch of salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup water or milk
- 1 coop protein powder vanilla
Instructions
- Add oats, banana slices, sea salt, cinnamon, vanilla and water or milk to a pot and stir to combine.
- Heat over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Be sure to stir the oats several times while cooking to make sure the banana slices melt into the oats. You’ll know the oatmeal is done when all the liquid is absorbed and the oats are thick and fluffy.
- Remove oats from the heat and stir in protein powder. If the consistency of the oats gets too thick, add in a little more water or milk. Transfer oats to a bowl and top with your favorite oatmeal toppings.
Notes
- The banana can be omitted if you prefer oatmeal without added natural sweetness.
