Ingredients
Scale
Oats Base
- 0.5 cups Steel Cut Oats
- 1 cup Soy Milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 pinch Salt
Flavor & Protein
- 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the oats: In a medium saucepan, combine 0.5 cups steel cut oats, 1 cup water, and 1 cup soy milk. Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cook the oats: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the oats uncovered for about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to maintain a creamy texture and prevent the oats from sticking to the pan, until the oats are tender and the mixture thickens.
- Add protein powder and sweetener: Remove the oats from heat. Stir in 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder thoroughly until fully incorporated. Then add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and mix well to balance the flavors and add natural sweetness.
- Serve warm: Divide the creamy protein steel cut oats evenly into 4 bowls. Optionally, top with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for added texture and nutrition. Enjoy immediately for a hearty and energizing breakfast.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using alternative sweeteners.
- For a thinner consistency, add additional soy milk or water while cooking.
- Use gluten-free steel cut oats if you need this recipe to be gluten free.
- This recipe can be prepared ahead and reheated; add a splash of soy milk to loosen the oats when reheating.
