Fluffy Egg White Oatmeal

5 from 9 votes

This 5-minute egg white oatmeal recipe is a great high-protein oatmeal option made with quick oats, mashed banana, egg whites, and honey.

Servings:

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
Bring the quick oats and water to a boil in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Once the oats cook (takes about a minute), turn the stovetop to low and whisk in the egg whites. Continue whisking for about 15 seconds until the oatmeal changes to a white color. Remove from the stovetop.
Whisk in the mashed banana, ground cinnamon (if using), salt, and honey (if using).
Pour into a bowl and top with sliced fruit, chia seeds, shredded coconut, or nuts.

Quick oats cooks differently from steel-cut oats (whole oats). If substituting whole oats, cook the oats per the package instructions prior to adding the egg whites.
Any type of sweetener can be used: agave nectar, maple syrup, or honey. The sweetener can be omitted as well if desired.
Storage: This recipe takes only 5 minutes, so I recommend preparing this oatmeal bowl fresh. If you want to make this ahead of time, the mashed banana turns the bowl brown. I recommend adding the mashed banana when served.
