Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Large Pot
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (gluten-free, if necessary)
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk (any milk works)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start by adding the oats, water, milk, and salt to a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir everything together gently, ensuring that the ingredients are well mixed.
- Next, bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. This is an important step, as it helps the oats cook properly and absorb the liquids.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. You’ll want to keep a close eye on it now. Let the oats simmer until they’re nice and thick, which should take about five minutes. You’ll notice the texture changing as the oats absorb the liquid.
- After five minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. This is where the magic happens—whisk in the protein powder until fully incorporated.
- Now it’s time to get creative! This is where you can add your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon work beautifully.
- Enjoy your Protein Oatmeal immediately while it’s warm. The combination of flavors and textures will surely start your day off right!
