Ingredients

Oatmeal:

  • ½ cup fat-free milk
  • ¼ cup (40g) quick-cooking steel cut oats
  • 4 tablespoons (47g) 100% pumpkin puree
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Dash of salt
  • ⅓ scoop (10g) protein powder, such as Ascent Native Fuel Whey protein powder in “vanilla bean”

Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon (6g) chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds
  • 1 teaspoon (7g) honey or maple syrup
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

Stovetop method

  1. Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the oats, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Return to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. When oats are creamy and cooked through remove pan from heat and stir in the protein powder.
  5. Top with chopped nuts, honey/maple syrup, and cinnamon.

Microwave method

  1. Mix together the milk, oats, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and salt in a large heatproof dish (be sure to leave extra room for the oats to expand while cooking, otherwise they will overflow).
  2. Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir well, and return to microwave for another 3-4 minutes or until oats are cooked through and creamy.
  4. Stir in the protein powder and top with chopped nuts, honey/maple syrup, and cinnamon.

Notes

  1. Any cooking liquid can be substituted for the non-fat milk. Water, almond milk, soymilk, coconut milk, or any combination would be delicious. If the oatmeal becomes too dry at any point during the cooking process add a splash of water to loosen.
  2. You can substitute any type of oats for the quick-cooking steel cut oats. However, to maintain the same macros with old-fashioned or instant oats use ½ cup (40g) instead of ¼ cup, and cook with an extra ½ cup of water.
  3. This oatmeal keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Double or triple the recipe and reheat with an extra splash of water or milk for a make-ahead breakfast!
  4. The macros will vary according to the protein powder you choose. It’s always best to select a protein powder with minimal added ingredients. For reference, the protein powder used for these macro calculations is Ascent Native Fuel Whey protein powder in “vanilla bean” with 40 calories, 0.3g fat, 0.7g carb, and 8g protein per 10g.
  5. To make gluten-free be sure to use certified gluten-free oats. Use a milk substitute for a dairy-free version.
