Scrambled Oats Are Soo Good!

I first saw this scrambled oats recipe trend on TikTok and was intrigued, and decided to try it because of the ingredient list: oats, bananas, and eggs. It’s that simple, which also makes it super customizable. I make mine with Greek yogurt for added protein, cinnamon, and a dash of salt to round out the flavors. It’s a high-protein and high-fiber breakfast or snack that is a fun change from oatmeal.

Happy Cooking!

Scrambled Oats Ingredients

Ingredients for recipeL yogurt, egg, oats, cinnamon, salt, and a banana.
  • Oats: Rolled oats work best for this recipe (they’e chewier and cook quicker than steel-cut oats). Avoid instant oats if you can!
  • Banana: Look for a fully ripe banana for added sweetness.
  • Egg: I usually go for large, room-temperature eggs, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
  • Plain Greek yogurt: I like to use full-fat Greek yogurt, but any kind will do. And if you’re not into yogurt, you can use a neutral oil or butter to grease the pan, instead.
  • Seasoning: You’ll just need salt and some powdered cinnamon to flavor these scrambled oats!

Instructions

Notes

  • My Top Tip: Use a ripe banana! It’ll add some sweetness and creaminess to your oats!

Recipe Tips

  1. Use a ripe banana. A ripe banana adds some sweetness and creaminess to your oats!
  2. Try not to overcook your oats. You want to brown the bottom of your oats, not burn them. Do your best to stir and scramble your oats before they sit for too long in the hot pan!

FAQs

Can I use egg whites instead of a whole egg?

Yes! This recipe will be just as delicious and a little less rich with egg whites. I’d suggest using two egg whites for scrambled oats instead of just one whole egg.
