Start your day with a nutritious and delicious Cinnamon Raisin Protein Oatmeal Power Bowl. This recipe combines the cozy flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg with the natural sweetness of raisins, while packing in protein and healthy fats to keep you fueled and satisfied throughout the morning.
Ingredients:
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.
Although this bowl is flavorful on its own, you can add optional toppings such as a drizzle of honey, a dollop of yogurt, or fresh fruit like sliced bananas or apples for additional flavor and nutrition.
Tips:
- Use rolled oats for the best texture, but instant oats can work if you're in a hurry.
- Add the protein powder after cooking the oatmeal to prevent it from becoming gritty or clumping.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- For a creamier texture, replace some or all of the water with milk or a milk alternative.
Enjoy your nutritious Cinnamon Raisin Protein Oatmeal Power Bowl as a hearty breakfast or post-workout meal. It's a versatile, delicious, and easy-to-prepare option that supports your active lifestyle while satisfying your taste buds.
