Equipment
- 1 saucepan
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 measuring cups
Ingredients
Oatmeal Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 apple diced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, almond milk, protein powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Continue to cook the oats for 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired consistency. If you prefer a thinner oatmeal, add more almond milk a little at a time.
Serving
- While the oats are cooking, dice the apple and chop the walnuts. Set aside for serving.
- Divide the cooked oats into bowls. Top each serving with diced apples, a drizzle of honey, and chopped walnuts for a delightful crunch.
Storage
- If you have any leftover oats, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of almond milk before serving.
- Prepare a double batch of oats to enjoy throughout the week. Simply reheat individual servings as needed for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
