Description

This high protein oatmeal recipe is the perfect way to start your day! With over 22g of protein and less than 300 calories, this is a super filling plant-based breakfast!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 scoop (16g) vanilla protein powder (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
  • Optional toppings: Fresh berries, peanut butter, granola, etc.

Instructions

  1. Add the oats, chia seeds, and salt to a very large bowl. Add one cup of water and stir to combine.
  2. Microwave for 3-3 1/2 minutes on 70% power. You may need to adjust slightly based on your microwave. You can avoid the oatmeal boiling over by not cooking at full power.
  3. Use oven mitts to carefully remove the oats from the microwave and stir in the protein powder and powdered peanut butter.
  4. Add a splash of water or almond milk to thin, if needed.
  5. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.

Notes

Use a very large bowl as oatmeal will expand rapidly while cooking. To be safe, I use a bowl that holds about 6 cups when cooking 1/2 cup of oats.
