Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium, chopped apple
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally.
As the mixture begins to heat, add the chopped apple and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and the apples have softened, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the oats have cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 1 minute.
Stir in the whey protein powder until fully incorporated. Add a little more almond milk if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
Add the chia seeds and pure maple syrup to the oats, stirring to combine.
Divide the oats into two bowls.
Top each serving with a tablespoon of chopped almonds for added crunch and protein.
Serve immediately, and enjoy a nutritious breakfast packed with protein and flavor.
