Peanut Butter Protein Oatmeal
This is a fast, fiber-filled breakfast that helps you hit your protein goals—no blender, no weird ingredients. It’s creamy, naturally sweet, peanut buttery, and packed with almost 40 grams of protein.
This bowl is more than just protein-packed—it’s loaded with fiber, healthy fats, and smart carbs to keep you full and fueled.
Nutrition Notes
Rolled oats (gluten-free): A whole grain rich in fiber (especially beta-glucan), which helps with digestion, cholesterol, and keeping you full. Bonus: naturally gluten-free when certified.
Protein powder: Adds a quick 20-25g of muscle-building protein (protein count varies by brand, mine is 25 grams). Helps keep blood sugar stable and cravings in check.
PB2: Gives you the peanut butter taste without the full-fat load. Adds protein and flavor for fewer calories.
2% milk (Darigold Fit): High in protein (6.5 g per half cup) and a good source of calcium, vitamin D, and B12. Creamy without being heavy. Use your favorite milk here or substitute with all water, just keep in mind the macro counts will be different (lower protein count).
Cinnamon: Not just for vibes. It can help support blood sugar regulation and adds warmth without added sugar.
Strawberries: Low in calories, high in vitamin C and antioxidants. Adds natural sweetness and fiber.
Banana: Potassium-rich and great for energy. A little goes a long way in flavor and natural sugar, which is why I only recommend 1/4 of a banana sliced.
Why Sprouted Oats?
I love and recommend One Degree Sprouted, gluten free oats. You may wonder what the difference is with sprouted oats vs regular oats? Both have that heart-healthy beta-glucan fiber, but sprouted oats go a step further. They’re higher in magnesium, GABA, protein, and insoluble fiber—and lower in phytates (those annoying antinutrients that block absorption).
Basically, sprouting wakes the oats up. It activates enzymes that help break down starches and proteins so your body can actually use the good stuff. Easier to digest, more nutrient-available, and a little bonus protein? Yes, please.
