If you want to stay on top of your nutrition even on busy mornings while boosting your protein intake, 5-minute high protein oats are the perfect solution. This breakfast is not only nutritious but also quick, delicious, and energizing, helping you start your day fresh and active.
Ingredients (1 Serving)
Rolled oats – ½ cup
Milk (dairy or plant-based) – 3 cup
Peanut butter – 2 tbsp
Chia seeds – 2 tsp
Flax seeds (optional) – 2 tsp
Honey or maple syrup – 2 tsp (optional)
Fresh fruits (banana, berries, or apple slices) – for topping
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Mix Oats and Milk
In a small saucepan, combine oats and milk. Cook on medium heat for 2–3 minutes until creamy. If using a microwave, place oats and milk in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 90 seconds.
2. Add Protein
Stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter after cooking. It adds creaminess and boosts the protein content, keeping you fuller for longer.
3. Add Seeds
Mix in chia seeds and flax seeds. These tiny powerhouses are rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting digestion and heart health.
4. Sweeten and Top
Add honey or maple syrup if you want a touch of sweetness. Top with fresh fruits such as banana slices, berries, or apple cubes for natural flavor and a colorful presentation.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve the oats warm in a bowl. For extra crunch, sprinkle some nuts on top.
