A warm and nutritious Protein Oatmeal recipe that combines the creaminess of banana and vanilla protein powder with wholesome oats, perfect for a filling breakfast that fuels your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add oats, banana slices, sea salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and water or milk to a pot and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Cook Oatmeal: Heat the mixture over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the oats are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add Protein Powder: Remove the pot from heat then stir in one scoop of vanilla protein powder thoroughly to integrate it into the oatmeal.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Serve: If the oatmeal is too thick, add a splash more water or milk to reach your preferred consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl and add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit or nuts, if desired.

Notes

  • Use water for a lower calorie option or milk for creamier oatmeal.
  • Choosing a plant-based protein powder keeps this recipe vegan if you use plant-based milk.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup as desired.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; leftovers can thicken and may need reheating with a splash of liquid.
  • Optional toppings include chia seeds, nuts, fresh berries, or a drizzle of nut butter for added nutrition.
