Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients. Ensure you have the rolled oats, liquid of choice, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, and any desired toppings ready.

Cooking

  • In a medium pot, bring the water or milk to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and stir in the rolled oats, ensuring even distribution.
  • Cook the oats for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally as they absorb the liquid and become creamy.
  • After 5 minutes, stir in the protein powder, honey or maple syrup, and cinnamon until fully integrated.
  • Continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the oatmeal thickens.
  • Check the consistency; if too thick, add a splash more of milk or water.

Serve

  • Transfer your oatmeal to a bowl, and optionally top with fresh berries or nuts.
  • Enjoy your nourishing breakfast while it's warm.

Customization

  • Feel free to use this oatmeal as a base for endless variations in the future.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days and reheat with a splash of milk or water.
