Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 pinch salt
1 scoop protein powder
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 banana, mashed
1 tsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Add oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt into a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat while stirring occasionally.
Continue cooking until the oats become creamy and soft.
Remove the saucepan from the heat before stirring in the protein powder slowly to prevent clumping.
Mix in Greek yogurt, peanut butter, mashed banana, cinnamon, and chia seeds until smooth and creamy.
Serve warm with optional toppings like blueberries, walnuts, extra peanut butter, or banana slices.

Notes

For the creamiest texture, stir protein powder into the oatmeal after cooking instead of boiling it directly with the oats. Add extra milk during reheating if the oatmeal thickens too much. Customize with bananas, berries, peanut butter, chia seeds, or overnight oats variations for easy meal prep breakfasts.
