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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt, stirring to distribute evenly throughout the oatmeal.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls. Optionally, top with sliced banana and 1 teaspoon of chia seeds for added texture and nutrients.
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy a high-protein start to your day!
