Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup+ 2 tablespoons water divided
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1 banana sliced
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the water, milk and salt to a boil. Reduce the heat to low.
- While the liquid is cooking, dissolve the protein powder with 2 tablespoons water until smooth and consistent.
- Add the oats, chia seeds and light brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the dissolved protein powder and sliced bananas, cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes.
- Divide into two bowls. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon, if desired and enjoy warm.

Notes
- My Top Tip: Whisk your protein powder with milk and water before adding the oats. The protein powder can clump up sometimes when added with the oats and chia seeds. It helps to whisk it in first with the liquid for a smoother consistency.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days. When you're ready to eat, reheat your oats (on the stovetop or in the microwave) with a splash of water or milk to keep them from clumping up. Freezing is not recommended.
