Ingredients
- ½ cup gluten-free quick oats
- ¾ cup water
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup liquid egg whites
- 3 tbsp protein powder optional - I love using the PEScience Protein 4 Oats Maple Brown Sugar flavor - linked below and can use code BAILEY at checkout to save $$ on all products
- Favorite toppings - peanut butter blueberries, coconut flakes, hemp hearts, granola, etc.
Instructions
- Grab a microwave-safe bowl and add your gluten-free quick oats, water, cinnamon and salt. Give it a stir to make sure the oats are fully submerged.
- Pop the bowl in the microwave and cook for 45 seconds. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t overflow.
- Carefully take the bowl out of the microwave and pour in the egg whites. Mix them in well with the oats. The egg whites might seem a bit runny at first, but don’t worry – they’ll cook quickly.
- Put the bowl back in the microwave and cook in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the egg whites are fully cooked and the oatmeal is thick and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes in total.
- Mix everything together until well combined. If you like your oatmeal a bit sweeter, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. You can also add your protein powder or "Protein 4 Oats" here and mix well.
- Add your favorite oatmeal toppings and serve immediately!
