This post will teach you how to make protein oatmeal with EGGS! The eggs make the oatmeal thick and creamy, the perfect texture for a cozy breakfast.
Why protein oatmeal?
While oats are delicious, oatmeal with no protein can set your blood sugar on a roller coaster for the day. Plus, you will find yourself hungry within a short time after your oatmeal breakfast.
Protein balances blood sugar, gives the body energy to burn, and makes the meal filling so that you can feel satiated as you start the day.
Temper the Eggs
In this recipe, eggs provide the protein content of this recipe. To avoid scrambling the eggs in your oatmeal, you will need to temper the eggs.
Tempering the eggs is simply a process to slowly heat up the eggs so that they can be added to something hot without scrambling. The tempered eggs will make your oatmeal deliciously creamy.
First, cook the oats, milk, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon until the oatmeal begins to thicken, then take the pot off the heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs well. Slowly add in a spoonful of hot oatmeal into the bowl with the eggs. Stir constantly so that the eggs do not scramble.
Continue to add spoonful’s of hot oatmeal until you have a creamy egg mixture.
Add the egg mixture back into the pot of oatmeal and stir. Now you have creamy cinnamon oatmeal that is packed full of protein for a filling meal!
Toppings
Top your bowl of oatmeal with your favorite berries or nuts and give it a drizzle of sweetener. In our house, we love to sweeten our oatmeal with raw honey and top it with frozen mixed berries! Enjoy!
