Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 scoop Vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 whole Sliced banana (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the 1 cup rolled oats and 2 cups milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
As the mixture begins to heat up, add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder. Stir well until the peanut butter and protein powder are fully incorporated and the oatmeal has a creamy consistency.
Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt, stirring to distribute evenly throughout the oatmeal.
Continue cooking the oatmeal for about 8–10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness. Feel free to add a bit more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if needed.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls. Optionally, top with sliced banana and 1 teaspoon of chia seeds for added texture and nutrients.
Serve warm and enjoy a high-protein start to your day!
