- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats and unsweetened almond milk.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Step 3
Once the oats start to simmer, add the mashed banana, chia seeds, and vanilla protein powder. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 4
Add the ground cinnamon and flaxseed meal, continuing to stir the mixture while it cooks for an additional 5 minutes or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oats sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Divide the protein oats into two serving bowls.
Step 7
Top each bowl with an equal amount of blueberries and chopped almonds.
Step 8
Drizzle with honey for natural sweetness.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy creamy protein oats for a nutritious breakfast.
