Best Chocolate Protein Oatmeal
The breakfast I’ve been having for the past seven years: chocolate protein oatmeal. Or rather, the best protein oatmeal ever! From taste to convenience and nutrition, these super creamy protein oats are a healthy breakfast that has it all.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 50 grams (1/2 cup) rolled oats
- 30 grams (1/3 cup) protein powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- maple syrup or honey
- a pinch of salt
- 300 ml (1 1/4 cup) water or milk
Instructions
- In a nonstick pot, bring to boil the water or milk.
- When the liquid starts boiling, lower the heat and add to the pots rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt and optionally maple syrup or honey to taste. Using a whisker or wooden spoon, stir well until all the ingredients are combined and no lumps are left in the oats. Simmer, while stirring, for about five minutes, or until the protein oatmeal has reached the desired texture. The longer you cook it, the thicker it gets.
- Once your protein oats are ready, scoop into a bowl and serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- As in this recipe the protein powder is cooked with oats, whey cannot be used (whey can’t be heated or it gets dry). Make this protein oatmeal with vegan protein powder or casein.
- Nutritional values are calculated for oatmeal recipe without toppings.
