Ingredients

rolled oats 1/3 cup
whey protein powder 1 scoop
natural peanut butter 1 tbsp
chia seeds 1 tbsp
unsweetened almond milk 1 cup

Method

Measure Ingredients. Measure out 1/3 cup of rolled oats, 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or water). Having everything ready makes cooking easier.
Tip: Use a dry measuring cup for oats and a tablespoon measure for accuracy.
Cook the Oats. In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats begin to soften and the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
Tip: Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add Protein Powder. Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the whey protein powder thoroughly until fully combined and smooth. This step prevents the protein powder from clumping.
Tip: Add protein powder off the heat to keep it from denaturing and clumping.
Mix in Peanut Butter and Chia Seeds. Add the natural peanut butter and chia seeds to the oatmeal. Stir well until the peanut butter melts into the warm oats and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Tip: If the peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly before adding.
Serve and Enjoy. Pour the oatmeal into a bowl. Optionally, top with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor. Enjoy your high-protein, nutrient-rich breakfast!
Tip: Eat while warm for the best texture and taste.

Pro tips

Use a non-stick saucepan to prevent oats from sticking and burning.
For a creamier texture, soak the oats in almond milk overnight and warm gently in the morning.
