Sugar-Free Maple Pecan Protein Oatmeal

No ratings yet

Regular stovetop oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder stirred in once it's off the heat, topped with pecans and a sugar-free maple syrup so it still tastes like the version with brown sugar.

Letting the oats cool for a couple minutes before whisking in the protein powder keeps it smooth instead of clumping into little balls.

Steps

  1. 1

    Simmer the oats with the milk in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  2. 2

    Remove from the heat and let cool for 2 minutes, then whisk in the protein powder until fully dissolved and smooth.

  3. 3

    Divide between two bowls and top with the chopped pecans, a drizzle of the sugar-free maple syrup, and a dusting of cinnamon.

Try it this way

Swap the pecans for walnuts or chopped almonds.

    Suggested developments: toasting the oats in a hot pan without fats first gives the oatmeal a breadier and slightly toasted taste. Also: stirring in one whole egg per serving of oatmeal into it at the very end (stirring until it thickens, like when making a custard) increases protein and healthy fats while also making the oatmeal creamier and gives it a much nicer texture. (If you're feeling cheeky, stirring in a good-sized knob of butter or tablespoon of peanut butter together with the egg(s) makes it even nicer!

    That’s a great tip for our cheeky Proteinaires!
