Ingredients

• 2 Happy Eggs

• ½ cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)

• ¼ tsp cinnamon

• A pinch of salt

• 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp maple syrup

Directions

1. Whisk the Eggs: Crack two Happy Eggs into a small bowl. Whisk them until well combined and set aside.
   

2. Prepare the Base: In a small saucepan, add the rolled oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine. (Note: don’t turn the stove on just yet).
   

3. Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir everything together then turn the stove on medium-high heat.
   

4. Bring to a Boil: Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan. Once the oatmeal porridge is boiling, reduce the heat.
   

5. Incorporate the Eggs: Time to add the whisked Happy Eggs to the pan! The secret to this step is adding the eggs slowly and continuously stirring them into the oatmeal for soft, fluffy protein-packed porridge.
   

6. Cook & Enjoy! Continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. When everything is cooked through and thickened, transfer to a bowl, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Protein Oatmeal Porridge

• Stir Constantly When Adding Eggs: With oatmeal, you always want to take it slow when cooking. To avoid clumpy oatmeal, pour the eggs slowly and keep stirring for a smooth, fluffy texture.

• Use Fresh, High-Quality Eggs: Happy Eggs’ rich, amber yolks are key to creating the creamy, dreamy consistency that makes this porridge irresistible.

• Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer sweeter oatmeal, add a bit more maple syrup or top with dried fruit. You can even add honey.

• Make it gluten-free: To make gluten-free Protein Oatmeal Porridge, use gluten-free oats.
• Try it with different types of milk: Almond, oat, or coconut milk offer subtle variations in flavor and creaminess. There really are endless ways to experiment with this recipe for protein oatmeal porridge!
