A Sweet and Satisfying Breakfast in Minutes

If you’re looking for a sweet breakfast that’s both delicious and packed with protein, I’ve got an easy and satisfying recipe for you: apple cinnamon oatmeal with a secret ingredient—liquid egg whites! This simple addition makes your oatmeal extra fluffy, filling, and loaded with protein to keep you going all morning. Let me show you how to make this tasty breakfast step by step!

Why Add Egg Whites to Oatmeal?

Egg whites are a fantastic way to boost the protein content of your oatmeal without adding any extra flavor or heaviness. Since they’re neutral in taste, they blend right into the oats, making them fluffy and adding a great texture. Plus, it’s a simple way to sneak in more protein without cooking a separate side of eggs!

Ingredients

1 apple, chopped
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup oats½ cup water
½ cup nut milk (almond, cashew, or your favorite)
¼ cup liquid egg whites
Maple syrup, to taste
Chopped pecans, for topping

Instructions

1. Sauté the Apples

Start by adding the chopped apple and cinnamon to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about a minute until the apples start to soften and the cinnamon becomes fragrant. This step adds a delicious warmth and flavor to your oatmeal!

2. Cook the Oats

Next, pour in your oats, water, and nut milk. I like to use a combination of water and nut milk to keep things creamy without going overboard on calories. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and look nice and thick.

3. Add the Secret Ingredient: Egg Whites

Now for the fun part! Once the oatmeal is cooked, pour in ¼ cup of liquid egg whites. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes, making sure the egg whites get fully incorporated. This step is key to keeping the eggs from scrambling. If you stir continuously, they’ll blend right in and give your oatmeal a thick, fluffy texture without any weird chunks.

4. Sweeten and Top

Once your oatmeal is nice and fluffy, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle with a little maple syrup for sweetness. I like to add some chopped pecans for crunch and extra healthy fats. And that’s it—you’ve got yourself a high-protein, delicious breakfast that tastes like apple pie but fuels your body like a champ.

Recipe Variations

Here are two fun recipe additions or alternatives for your egg white oatmeal, keeping it high-protein but giving you a little variety!

1. Banana Peanut Butter Protein Oatmeal

Swap out the apples and cinnamon for a creamy, banana-peanut butter twist!

Ingredients:

1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup oats
½ cup water
½ cup nut milk (almond or your favorite)
¼ cup liquid egg whites
1 tbsp peanut butter
Sliced banana and a sprinkle of chia seeds, for topping

Instructions:

Top with sliced bananas and chia seeds for added texture and nutrition!

In a small saucepan, mash the banana and add the oats, water, and nut milk.

Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the oats are thick and cooked through, reduce the heat to low and stir in the egg whites, mixing constantly for 1-2 minutes until fluffy.

Stir in the peanut butter for extra richness.

2. Blueberry Almond Vanilla Oatmeal

For a fruity, nutty variation with a touch of vanilla, this version is a winner!

Ingredients:

½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup oats
½ cup water
½ cup nut milk (almond or your favorite)
¼ cup liquid egg whites
1 tbsp sliced almonds
A drizzle of honey, for sweetness

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, vanilla extract, oats, water, and nut milk.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats are thickened and the blueberries start to burst (about 5 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the egg whites, mixing constantly for 1-2 minutes until the oatmeal is fluffy.
Top with sliced almonds and drizzle honey for a touch of sweetness.

Both of these alternatives add extra flavors and textures while keeping your oatmeal protein-packed and delicious!

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: If you want to make extra oatmeal for later, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, simply reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or nut milk to help loosen it up and get that creamy texture back.
Freezing: Yes, you can even freeze your egg white oatmeal! Portion it out into individual servings in freezer-safe containers. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stovetop or microwave. Add a bit of liquid as it reheats to restore the original creaminess.

Tip: If you plan to freeze the oatmeal, hold off on adding toppings like nuts, fruit, or maple syrup until after it’s been reheated. This way, your toppings stay fresh and crunchy!

Other Preparation Methods

Egg White Overnight Oats Version

Ingredients:

½ cup oats
½ cup nut milk (almond, cashew, or your favorite)
¼ cup water
¼ cup liquid egg whites
1 apple, chopped
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Chopped pecans, for topping

Instructions:
