Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or milk
  • 1 scoop (30g) protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 0.125 teaspoon sal t
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, liquid, and salt over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat source to prevent the protein powder from denaturing or clumping.
  5. Vigorously stir in the protein powder and cinnamon until the mixture is homogenous; add a splash of extra liquid if the consistency is too thick.
  6. Transfer to a bowl and top with almond butter before serving.
