Vanilla Protein Oatmeal

Jillian Glenn
Nothing says 'Good Morning' like a cozy bowl of oats for breakfast. This warm vanilla protein oatmeal recipe is healthy, filled with fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based vanilla protein powder. I eat vanilla protein oats multiple times a week for breakfast because they are filling, nutritious, and delicious! And, the best part is that you only need about 10 minutes to make!

Equipment

  • small or medium saucepan
  • bowl for serving

Ingredients
  

Vanilla Protein Oats

  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats select gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup plain unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
  • 1 scoop plant-based vanilla protein powder see notes for brand recommendations
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional

Vegan Protein Oats Toppings

  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • ½ sliced ripe banana
  • ½ cup mixed berries
  • 1-2 tablespoon melted peanut butter

Instructions
 

Stovetop Protein Oats

  • Bring a saucepan with the oats, water, and plant milk to medium heat. Stirring occasionally, cook until the oats are bubbling and begin to thicken (about 5 minutes).
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the vanilla protein powder and cinnamon (if using). Mix until creamy and then transfer the oats into your bowl for serving.

Microwave Protein Oats

  • Add the oats, water, and plant milk into a microwave safe bowl. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute. Carefully remove and stir. Return and cook for another 1 minute. Carefully remove and stir. If the oats are still watery, cook in 30 second intervals until the oats have absorbed the water and are creamy.
  • Once the oats are creamy, stir in the vanilla protein powder and cinnamon (if using).

Vanilla Vegan Protein Oats Toppings

  • Add the chia seeds, ground flax seeds, banana slices, and berries on top of the oats. Melt the peanut butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds and then drizzle it over the oats. Serve warm.
