Ingredients
- 1/4 cup oats (old fashioned oats)
- 1 tablespoon flax seed meal
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling)
- 3/4 to 1 cup water (use 3/4c for thick and 1c plus for thin oatmeal)
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (see note above)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Combine oats, flax and cinnamon. Add water and mix well. Don't add the protein powder or it will become overcooked-yick! Microwave for one minute. **Microwave times given are for a 1300wt microwave, you will probably need more time if you have a smaller wattage microwave.**.
-
Step 2: Remove bowl from microwave and stir in protein powder. Return to microwave and set timer for 2 minutes, stirring every 20-30 seconds until your desired consistency is reached. *Watch carefully because the protein powder will puff and you don't want a mess!
-
Step 3: Add blueberries and stir - I like warm blueberries so I return the bowl to the microwave for another 15-20 seconds. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon before serving.
