Description
This creamy high-protein oatmeal comes together in under 10 minutes with six simple ingredients (no protein powder needed). Made with liquid egg whites and old fashioned rolled oats, it’s packed with protein and fiber for a filling and satisfying breakfast that’ll get those good morning vibes rolling!
Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup liquid egg whites
- Maple syrup, to taste (optional)
Toppings:
My fave: Raspberries, shredded coconut, Greek yogurt and a drizzle of peanut butter
My husband’s fave: Blueberries, walnuts, and maple syrup
My kids’ fave: Mini chocolate chips, bananas or cranberries, and peanut butter drizzle
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine the oats, milk, water, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until most of the liquid has absorbed.
- Stir in the egg whites, whisking constantly, until the mixture has fluffed up and the eggs are fully cooked, about 2-4 minutes more.
- Dish up into a bowl and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
Egg Whites: I used liquid egg whites straight from the carton. They’re pourable, easy, and waste-free. If you use the whites from an egg, make sure to scramble them well before pouring them into the oat mixture!
