Add protein to your oatmeal by adding egg whites. The end result is a bowl of thick, fluffy and filling oatmeal.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ banana (sliced (optional)*)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup water (milk or a blend of both)
  • ¼ cup egg whites*

Directions

  1. 1

    Add oats, banana slices, cinnamon and sea salt to a pot. Add water/milk and stir to combine. Heat over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Be sure to stir the oats several times while cooking to make sure the banana slices melt into the oats.

  2. 2

    Add egg whites into the oats and stir/whisk constantly. Stirring will keep the egg whites from cooking/scrambling and they will turn into a thick, fluffy consistency instead. This should take 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Once all the liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal is cooked through, place in a bowl and add your favorite toppings. I used peanut butter, granola, coconut and freeze-dried raspberries.
