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
- Add the oats, chia seeds, and salt to a very large bowl. Add one cup of water and stir to combine.
- 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.
- Use oven mitts to carefully remove the oats from the microwave and stir in the protein powder and powdered peanut butter.
- Add a splash of water or almond milk to thin, if needed.
- 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.
