Ingredients
40g oats (use gluten-free if needed)
250ml milk (dairy, nut milk, or half water)
1–2 tbsp additional liquid (optional)
15g protein powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings (optional):
– Banana slices
– Shelled hemp seeds
– Granola
– Chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Put oats and 250ml liquid in a pan. Cook on medium heat 2–3 minutes until thick and creamy.
2. Reduce heat. Whisk in protein powder until smooth.
3. Add extra liquid, cinnamon, and vanilla. Whisk for 1 more minute until creamy.
4. Remove from heat before it gets too thick—it will continue thickening.
5. Serve in a bowl and top with banana, hemp seeds, granola, or chocolate chips.
Notes
Use unflavored or mildly sweet protein powder to avoid overpowering the flavor.
For extra protein, stir in Greek yogurt after cooking or top with hemp seeds.
Dairy or soy milk will boost the protein content more than almond or oat milk.
