In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the oats, water, cinnamon, salt, and all but 2 tablespoons of the milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy but still a bit loose.
While the oats simmer, whisk the egg whites, protein powder, and the reserved 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat for one minute. Slowly stream in the egg white mixture while whisking constantly to prevent scrambling. Return the pan to low heat and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is very thick and no translucent white remains. Do not let it boil. Stir in the vanilla extract. Done when no raw white remains, 165°F.
Taste and add a zero-calorie sweetener if desired. Spoon the oatmeal into a large bowl and finish with an extra pinch of cinnamon.
