Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan (for stovetop method)
  • 2 Microwave-safe bowl (for microwave method)

Ingredients
 
 

  • ¾ cup Rolled oats (or quick oats)
  • 1 ½ cup Whole milk (or plant-based milk to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan)
  • 2 tbsp Peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • ½ tbsp Maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 oz Chocolate protein powder (or other flavor/non-flavored)

Topping

  • 1 tbsp Peanut butter (or almond butter, for topping)
  • 1 small Banana sliced (for topping)

Instructions
 

Microwave Instructions:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together oats, milk, 2 tbsp peanut butter, maple syrup, and protein powder.
  • Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • If the oatmeal is too thick, stir in additional milk to reach your desired consistency. If it is too thin, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until it reaches your desired thickness.

Stovetop Instructions:

  • In a saucepan, combine oats, milk, 2 tbsp almond butter, and maple syrup.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes.
  • If the oatmeal is too thin after adding the protein powder, continue simmering until it reaches your desired thickness. If it is too thick, add more milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
  • Transfer the cooked oatmeal to a serving bowl.

Assembly:

  • Top with 1 tbsp peanut butter and sliced banana.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjusting Consistency: To thicken the oatmeal, continue cooking it until it reaches the desired consistency. To thin it, mix in additional milk as needed.
  • Protein Powder Flavor: I used chocolate protein powder for this recipe, but feel free to experiment with other protein powder flavors like vanilla and strawberry. For a chocolate taste with unflavored protein, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder alongside the protein powder.
