Instructions:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup oats with 1/2 cup water.
2. Cook Oats:
- Microwave the oats on high for about 1-2 minutes, or until they have absorbed the water and have reached your desired consistency.
- Alternatively, you can cook the oats on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed and the oats are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the oats are cooked, remove the bowl from the microwave or stovetop.
- Stir in 1 scoop of whey protein powder until it is thoroughly mixed into the oats. The mixture should be creamy; if it seems too thick, you can add a little more water or milk (dairy or non-dairy) to reach the desired consistency.
- Top the oatmeal with 1.25 tbsp of peanut butter. You can either mix it in for a uniform flavor or leave it on top for a peanut butter “pocket” that you can enjoy in bites.
