High Protein Caramel Apple Oatmeal
This High Protein Caramel Apple Oatmeal is
Equipment
- 1 oatmeal pot
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 juicy dates - finely chopped
- ½ cup - 1 tablespoon rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ apple - diced
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice can use cinnamon
- 1 cup milk of choice I used whole milk for extra protein
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder I prefer whey protein
Optional toppings
Instructions
- Add butter to a small pot over medium heat. Melt and then add the apples, dates and pumpkin spice. Cook for 5 minutes, until apples have started to soften.
- Add all remaining ingredients except for the protein powder to the pot. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. The oatmeal should be thick and creamy.
- Turn off heat and add in protein powder. Stir until combined. If your oatmeal becomes too thick you can 1-3 tablespoons of water.*
- Add your favorite toppings, serve and enjoy.
Notes
*Vegan protein will likely thicken the oatmeal quite a bit as it is starchy. In this case you will probably need 3 tablespoons of water. I used whey protein and did not need to add any water.
