Oatmeal with Egg Whites

The yolk contains half the protein and most of the vitamins and minerals, however adding the egg yolk to the oatmeal really changes the flavour. In this case, stick to just egg whites to mix in with your oatmeal. 

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup oatmeal (quick or large flake)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup egg whites

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add your serving of quick oats. I use about 1/3 cup quick oats and 2/3 cup water. Microwave for 1 minute until it starts to cook but is not completely done.

  2. Remove from microwave and add egg whites. Start with 1/3 cup and you can always add more depending how much protein you want to add or the texture you prefer. Stir this into the oatmeal.

  3. Place back in the microwave and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring midway. You want the egg whites to start to cook but don't overcook them or else they don't mix well into the oatmeal. You'll have to play around with the time since microwaves vary, but you don't want the eggs too runny or too firm. 

  4. Once finished, remove from microwave and stir to incorporate all the eggs into the oatmeal. 

  5. Add any toppings like fruit, cinnamon, or flax, chia, hemp seeds, nuts and nut butters for healthy fats. 

Recipe Notes

You can also cook this on the stove top. Add the water and oats and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer (low-medium heat) and add egg whites, stirring often until proper consistency is reached and oats and eggs are cooked.
