Technically, this recipe is originally for cinnamon and peanut butter flavored oatmeal, but you can change it up to any flavor you can think of. I saw this recipe on Tiktok and I really like it. You get some extra protein with the eggs and protein powder while still remaining low-calorie. Yay! It is a little bit thicker consistency than just a packet of oatmeal, but I really like it. It feels hearty.
Protein Oatmeal
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup quick oatmeal
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tbl egg whites or Egg Beaters
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 1/4 cup)
- 1 Tbl PB2 powder or nut butter of your choice
- 1/2 a tsp of cinnamon, or to taste
- pinch of salt
- whipped topping
Directions:
Combine oatmeal, water and egg whites in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds, watching to make sure it does not boil over (that is why you use a large bowl). Add protein powder, PB2, cinnamon and salt to your cooked oatmeal. Stir well. Top with whipped topping if desired.
Approximately 295 calories and 22 grams of protein.
Marsha's Notes:
You can totally change this up by using a different flavor protein powder, mix-ins, and flavorings. I have used chocolate protein powder but kept everything else pretty much the same (maybe omitting the cinnamon) and it was really good too.
