Curious about how to add protein to oatmeal? Make this!
If you’ve ever wished your cozy bowl of oatmeal could pack in a little more protein, this recipe is for you. By cooking oats with milk and stirring in protein powder, you get a warm, filling breakfast that’s both comforting and muscle-fueling. Best part? It’s quick, simple, and only uses three main ingredients!
I love that you can completely customize this to taste by using your favorite flavor of protein powder, along with any oatmeal toppings!

Creamy oatmeal mixed with protein powder as an easy and yummy high-protein meal.
1
In a medium pot, add oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick.
2
Let the oats cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until they’ve absorbed most of the milk and are soft and creamy.
3
Once the oats are cooked, remove from heat and stir in your protein powder until smooth. (Tip: Add a splash more milk if it gets too thick.)
4
Divide into bowls and add your favorite toppings. Think banana slices, berries, nut butter, granola, or a drizzle of honey.

Extra tips for making high-protein oatmeal:
- Use the flavor of protein powder you love! I prefer peanut butter flavor protein powder with oatmeal. You can consider using vanilla, or a cinnamon roll flavor would be yummy.
- Consider adding cinnamon or vanilla extract while cooking for extra flavor.
- Meal prep it! Cook a bigger batch and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
