This fluffy oatmeal with protein powder delivers a satisfying, creamy texture and a deliciously comforting flavor that will keep you energized all day long. Packed with 24 grams of high-quality protein per serving, it provides the perfect balance of macronutrients to support muscle recovery, boost your metabolism, and keep hunger at bay. The smooth, velvety oats are infused with a subtle sweetness and a hint of flavor from your favorite protein powder, making each bite both nourishing and indulgent. Whether enjoyed as a hearty breakfast after a morning workout or meal prep for busy weekdays, this dish is versatile and easy to customize—try adding fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flair. It’s naturally gluten-free if you choose a gluten-free protein powder and can be made vegan by swapping in plant-based milk and protein options. For the best results, cook the oats with a bit more liquid than usual to enhance creaminess, and stir thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed. This wholesome, high-protein oatmeal is a delicious way to fuel your day, satisfy your taste buds, and support your fitness goals effortlessly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
My oatmeal recipes are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
