Description
A quick and easy breakfast recipe combining oat flour and egg whites to create a creamy, protein-packed oatmeal. This simple dish is made with just a few ingredients and can be prepared in under 5 minutes using a microwave, perfect for a nutritious start to your day.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats (50 g)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup water (236 mL)
- 2 large egg whites (about ⅓ cup if using carton egg whites)
Instructions
- Blend: Place ½ cup rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blitz into a rough powder for about 10 seconds to create oat flour.
- Cook: Transfer the ground oats to a large microwave-safe serving bowl. Add 1 cup water and stir to mix evenly. Microwave on high for 1½ to 2 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed the water and are cooked through.
- Stir: While the oats are still hot, add the 2 large egg whites and stir vigorously to combine. Add additional water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly to incorporate all flavors.
- Serve: Serve the oatmeal warm, optionally topped with your favorite toppings like sliced banana, almond butter, or berries to add extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using egg whites boosts the protein content without adding fat or cholesterol.
- You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of brown sugar or using alternatives like honey or maple syrup.
- For a dairy-free or vegan alternative, omit egg whites and increase water or milk substitute slightly, though texture will vary.
- Be careful not to overcook in the microwave to prevent the oats from drying out.
- Blend oats finely for a smoother texture or leave coarse for more bite.
