In a small saucepan, combine most of the water, the steel cut oats, and the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to its lowest setting. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice to prevent sticking.
Stir the blueberries and half the cinnamon into the oats. Continue to simmer on low, covered, for 10 minutes more, stirring once halfway. If the oats are tender but still soupy at the end, simmer uncovered for 2 minutes more until thick and creamy.
While the oats finish, place the chopped pecans in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from the heat immediately. Done when fragrant and lightly browned.
In a small bowl, whisk the protein powder with the remaining 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth, thick paste. Remove the oats from the heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
Stir the protein paste and maple syrup into the oatmeal until well combined. Transfer to a bowl and top with the toasted pecans and the remaining cinnamon.
