For years, I’ve been meaning to record, measure and share this recipe. In college I learned that you could add egg whites to a bowl of oatmeal to boost the protein and make it super fluffy, and that’s how I’ve been making my oatmeal ever since!

But somehow I’ve never shared it with you… until today, that is!

1. Oats

Are OATS “bad” for you?

One of the reasons i felt so strongly about sharing this recipe now is because I’ve seen a lot of confusion around the internet about oats…

• Oats have phytic acid, which makes it difficult for you to absorb other nutrients
• They’re not indigenous to our people
• They’re too high in carbs

Well, let me clear this up… NONE of these statements are true!

Oats are a whole grain and super nutritious. Just one-half cup of oats contains:

• 4 grams of fiber (>10% of your daily needs)
• 5 grams of protein
• NO added sugar
• NO cholesterol or sodium

Most Americans don’t eat enough fiber, and having this bowl of protein oatmeal in the morning helps you meet your daily fiber needs.

How to Make Microwave Egg White Oatmeal

Microwave Egg White Oatmeal is SO easy to make! This recipe makes one serving, but you can double it. If you double the recipe, cooking time will vary.

First, mix together the oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon in a breakfast bowl that’s microwave-safe. Add 1/2 cup of water or milk. If you use milk it will boost the protein even more! Microwave for 2 minutes.

Remove from the microwave, and mix in the egg whites until combined. Then return to the microwave for another 2 minutes to cook the egg whites.

With a new spoon, mix in the mashed banana and microwave once more for 1-2 minutes. I like to have my oatmeal firmer, but if you prefer mushier oatmeal, add in additional liquid too.

Now is the fun part to add more flavor with toppings.

What toppings should you add?

My favorite toppings are:

• Berries (fresh or frozen – the frozen ones will get all melty from the warm oats)
• Any fruit
• Mini dark chocolate chips
• Additional sliced banana
• Nuts or seeds
• Nut or seed butter
• Shredded coconut
