Protein Pumpkin Oatmeal
Description
Starting with oats simmered with almond milk, water, ripe banana slices, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, sea salt, and cinnamon, this oatmeal builds flavor as it cooks until most liquid is absorbed. Incorporating liquid egg whites or whole egg whites at the end while continuously stirring produces a thick, fluffy texture, avoiding curdling and enhancing protein content. Vanilla extract added after cooking rounds out the flavors.
The finished oatmeal is creamy yet firm enough to hold toppings, making it a nourishing breakfast option with a seasonal twist. Toppings like almond butter, granola, and pecans add crunch and richness but can be varied based on preference. The recipe balances sweetness and spice without excess sugar.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ cup almond milk unsweetened
- ¾ cup water
- ½ banana sliced, ripe
- ¼ cup pumpkin canned or fresh, puree
- ¼ cup egg liquid egg whites or 2 egg whites from whole eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- pinch of sea salt
- cinnamon extra, sprinkle
- almond butter granola and pecans, for topping
Instructions
- In a saucepan over high heat, add oats, water, banana slices, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, salt and cinnamon. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the oatmeal. Turn the heat down and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 5-6 minutes).
- Add vanilla and egg whites into the oats and stir/whisk constantly. Stirring will keep the egg whites from cooking so that they turn into a thick, fluffy consistency instead. This should take 1-2 minutes.
- Once all the liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal is cooked through, place in a bowl and add your favorite toppings. I used almond butter, granola and pecans, but feel free to use a variety of nuts, nut butter or sweeteners. Enjoy!
