A quick, easy, and healthy breakfast bowl featuring fluffy rolled oats combined with chocolate protein powder for a rich, satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (~30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 12 teaspoons sweetener (optional: maple syrup, honey, or sugar substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries or sliced banana, chopped nuts or seeds, a dollop of nut butter, dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pour 1 cup of milk into a medium saucepan over medium heat and warm until hot but not boiling (about 2 minutes).
  3. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients, stirring constantly to prevent lumps and evenly distribute the protein powder.
  4. Let the mixture simmer gently, stirring frequently, for about 4-6 minutes until creamy and fluffy.
  5. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1-2 teaspoons sweetener if desired. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  6. Cook for another minute until desired thickness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute to thicken slightly.
  7. Spoon the oatmeal into a serving bowl and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best fluffy texture; baking powder is key for volumizing. Stir frequently and cook on medium heat to avoid burning. Adjust milk quantity for desired thickness. Sweetener is optional as protein powder may already be sweetened. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and milk. Microwave method possible but less fluffy.
