Egg White Oatmeal

Jan 18, 2021

 The idea of adding egg whites to your oats may not sound the most appealing..

"How do I know if the egg whites are cooked?"

"Will I taste the chunks of egg whites in the oatmeal?"

Rest assured, you don't even notice the cooked egg whites! What you will notice is the volume they provide to the oats and the hunger satisfying power this protein packed breakfast offers.


EGG WHITE OATMEAL

The Nutrition Facts are for one serving and include 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 1/2 cup of mixed berries as toppings. 


INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup (30g) large flake oats
  • 3/4 cup (190g) liquid egg whites
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) nut butter
  • 1/2 cup (50g) fresh or frozen berries
  • Optional: 1/4 scoop protein powder for added sweetness

DIRECTIONS 

  1. Add the oats to a microwave safe bowl and top with enough water to cover. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until the oats are cooked.
  2. Add the egg whites and mix well with the cooked oats. Microwave for 1 minute.
  3. Remove the bowl from the microwave and thoroughly mix the partially cooked egg whites and oats. The mixture should look slightly runny and you can see the egg whites starting to cook! Return to the microwave for another 45 seconds.
  4. Give the oats and egg whites another stir. There should be little to no liquid remaining.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh or frozen berries, drizzle with nut butter, and add a dash of cinnamon and salt as desired. Enjoy!
