Amp up your usual morning oats with egg whites! This egg white oatmeal provides more than double the protein, tastes fantastic, and creates the creamiest, dreamiest texture. Serve it with all your favorite toppings for the ultimate way to start your day!
Blend: Place ½ cup rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blitz into a rough powder, about 10 seconds.
Cook: Transfer the oats to a large microwave-safe serving bowl. Add 1 cup water, stirring to mix evenly. Microwave on high for 1½ to 2 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed the water.
Stir: Add 2 large egg whites while the oats are still hot, stirring to combine. Add more water, as needed, to reach a creamy consistency to your liking. Stir in optional (but highly recommended!) 1 Tbsp brown sugar, ½ tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp salt.
Serve: Serve warm, topped with your favorite oatmeal toppings (like sliced banana, almond butter, and berries!)

Notes
Food Safety: Stirring the egg whites into the hot oatmeal should "cook" the eggs to the point where they are safe to eat. If you're worried about food safety, stir the egg whites into the cooked oatmeal, then pop the bowl back in the microwave for 30 seconds.
