Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-cut oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (any type)
- 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Fresh or frozen berries (optional)
- 0.25 cup Nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add 1 cup of steel-cut oats and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water. Stir well.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 20 minutes, add 1 cup of milk to the oats. Stir and continue to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the porridge from heat and stir in 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder and 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix until well combined.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Let the porridge sit for a couple of minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some of the moisture and thicken the porridge.
Serve the porridge warm in bowls. Top with fresh or frozen berries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds if desired.
Enjoy this creamy, high-protein porridge as a hearty and nutritious breakfast!
