Protein Oatmeal
Creamy, fluffy, and anything but dry — learn my foolproof recipe for perfect protein oatmeal with 32g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
- ⅓ cup vanilla whey protein powder, or about 1 standard scoop
Equipment
- 1 small pot
Instructions
- To a small pot, add oats, milk, water, cinnamon, and salt. Stir.
- Turn the heat to medium.
- Wait about 5-minutes until your milk starts to steam and warm up -- things move quickly from here, so stay near the stove.
- As soon as you notice small bubbles start to form, stir frequently for about 2-minutes. Keep stirring until most (but not all) liquid is absorbed and the oats are cooked, but still chewy.
- Remove your pot from the heat and let them cool for 2-minutes.
- Stir in protein powder until combined and smooth.
- Immediately transfer oats to your serving bowl and add toppings of choice. Enjoy!
