INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
1 cup 2% Milk
1 medium Banana
1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
2 tbsp Pecans
1 tsp Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats and 2% milk with a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat while stirring occasionally.
Peel the banana and slice it into rounds. In a separate non-stick pan, place the banana slices over medium heat. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle cinnamon evenly over the top. Let the banana caramelize for 2-3 minutes on each side until they become golden and slightly sticky.
Once the oats have absorbed most of the milk and reached a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes), stir in the vanilla whey protein powder until fully incorporated. Adjust the heat if necessary to ensure the protein powder blends smoothly without clumping.
Pour the protein oatmeal into a bowl. Arrange the warm, caramelized banana slices on top.
Using a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to over-brown them.
Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the oatmeal. Finish with an extra light drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of cinnamon if desired, and serve immediately.
