I’ve recently decided to try eating gluten free after an allergy test came back sensitive to wheat and yeast. I didn’t realize how darn hard it would be, especially the yeast part! I was going through my recipe archives and remembered this high protein breakfast oatmeal I went through a spell of making and now I’m on a roll again. It’s warm and comforting food, while being filling and high on the protein. You can switch up the toppings how you like!
High Protein Breakfast Oatmeal
Oatmeal Mix:
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup egg whites or 1 whole egg
1/4 cup water or milk
sprinkle of cinnamon
Toppings:
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1-2 Tbsp honey
1/2 cup mixed berries (I use frozen)
0.5-1 Tbsp chia seeds
Instructions:
Mix oats, egg, cinnamon and liquid in a bowl. Microwave for 1.5 minutes, or until desired consistency. Sometimes this takes 30 more seconds for me! Top with yogurt, berries, honey and chia. You can sprinkle on some chopped nuts for crunch, if you’d like! This recipe, as shown, has 385 calories, 5 grams fat, 32 grams protein and 53 carbs. It really is my favorite way to get in protein at breakfast and also keeps me full until lunch!
