Instructions:
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 1.25 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot and stir to dissolve.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in 1/2 cup of oats. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your liking.
Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 scoop of whey protein powder until fully incorporated and smooth.
Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Stir thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Stir in 1/8 cup of raisins and 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.
Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and let it cool for a minute or two before eating. This allows the flavors to meld together and the texture to settle.
