材料

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup protein powder

1 cup water

1/2 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

手順

1. Add the oats, water, milk, and salt to a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.

メモ

Microwave oats: Combine oats, milk, water, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stir, then microwave in 1-minute increments until the oats are cooked. Stir through the protein powder, add toppings, and enjoy.

TO STORE: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge, covered, for up to five days.

TO FREEZE: Place the cooked and cooled oats in freezer-safe containers and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.

REHEATING: Microwave the oats for 30-40 seconds until warm. Add more milk or water, if needed.

Recipe tips and variations

Adjust the consistency. If you prefer soupy and thinner oatmeal, add more liquid. If you prefer stick-to-your-ribs oats, use less liquid.

Thicken the oats. Another trick to thicken oatmeal is to add 1-2 teaspoons of chia seeds or ground flaxseed. These not only make the oats heartier, but they also pack in 4-5 grams of fiber per tablespoon serving.

Add mix-ins. My partner loves peanut butter and chocolate chips, my sister loves fresh berries (and sometimes healthy Nutella), while I love sliced bananas and honey. Be creative: nuts, fruits, chocolate, cinnamon, cocoa- there are no wrong answers.

Gluten-free. I tested this recipe using Bob’s Red Mill certified gluten-free oats, and could not tell the difference compared to standard oats!

Make chocolate protein oatmeal. Use chocolate protein powder and add some chocolate chips.
