Ingredients

1 ¼ cups almond milk, water, or milk of choice
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoons maple syrup or sugar-free maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
top with fruit optional

Instructions

In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling.
Add the rolled oats, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan and stir. Cook the oatmeal for about 5-7 minutes or according to your package directions, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Once the oats are fully cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Then, add the vanilla protein powder, mixing well until fully incorporated and smooth. If needed, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of nut butter, and enjoy!

Notes

Milk Options: Use almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, soy milk, whole milk, 2% milk, fat-free milk, or your milk of choice for a creamy texture. Or, you can use water if you don’t have milk on hand.
Oats To Use: We used rolled oats for the best texture, but you can substitute quick oats for a faster cooking time. If using quick oats, cook them for about 2-3 minutes or until done, according to the package instructions.
