Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop protein powder (unsweetened, vanilla flavor)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and are tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Once the oats are cooked, stir in the mashed banana, protein powder, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure a creamy texture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with half a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. Stir gently to mix or leave as a topping.
Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed, sugar-free oatmeal!
