Vegan Banana Protein Microwave Oatmeal
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! I’m so excited to share this microwave oatmeal recipe. I’ve been making a lot of baked oats recipes lately, so I wanted to share a simpler oatmeal recipe you can make.
This vegan banana protein microwave oatmeal is incredibly easy to make and you can make it in less than five minutes. Microwave oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts to make if I don’t have a lot of time in the mornings. When I’m in a rush, I like to keep my breakfast simple.
This recipe is also high in protein, and you can add any toppings that you want. I added Pbfit on top for additional protein, but you can also add creamy or crunchy peanut butter.
Ingredients
- Rolled or Quick Oats: The first ingredient you need is rolled or quick oats. I almost always use quick oats in my recipes because I prefer quick oats over rolled oats. However, with that being said, you can use rolled oats as well. Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfasts to make because it’s quick, nutritious, and super delicious. You can make so many different oatmeal flavors and add any toppings you want.
- Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder: Next, you need a vegan vanilla protein powder of your choice. I used Simple Orgain plant protein powder in vanilla, but you can use any protein powder that you want. Orgain is my favorite protein powder to buy, and I use this brand in all of my protein recipes. Just note that it might taste slightly different if you use a different brand of protein powder. I used 1 scoop of protein powder for this recipe, which is about 18.5g.
- Ripe Banana: You also need 1/2 of a ripe banana. I mashed up my banana and mixed it together with the other ingredients, but you could blend it in a blender with the nut milk as well. I like adding banana to my oatmeal because it makes it sweeter.
- Chia Seeds: The next ingredient you need is 1/2 tsp of chia seeds. Chia seeds are super nutritious, and they’re great to add in smoothies and oatmeal.
- Nut Milk: You also need a nut milk of your choice. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can also use soy milk, silk milk, oat milk, or another nut milk of your choice. I like adding nut milk to my oatmeal recipes because it makes it creamier.
- Pure Maple Syrup: Lastly, add as much or as little maple syrup as you want. Add more maple syrup for a sweeter breakfast.
Optional Toppings
- Creamy Peanut Butter or Pbfit: I almost always add either creamy peanut butter or Pbfit to my oatmeal. I recently bought a container of Pbfit, so I added Pbfit to this oatmeal, but creamy or crunchy peanut butter is great to add as well. Peanut butter is a great source of protein.
- Whip Topping: I also added a coconut whip topping to my oatmeal. This is an optional ingredient, but adding a little whip cream adds sweetness and creaminess to your oatmeal.
SOME OF MY FAVORITE PRODUCTS
- Ramekin 6 oz Oven Safe Baking Dish: I use a ramekin for a lot of my baked oats recipes. This ramekin is microwave and oven safe, which is great for baking.
- Enjoy Life Chocolate Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips: One of my favorite brands of vegan chocolate chips is Enjoy Life. They’re super sweet and perfect for breakfast recipes and dessert recipes.
- Smucker’s Creamy Natural Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is one of my favorite ingredients to use for breakfast recipes and baking, and one of my go-to peanut butters is Smucker’s Creamy Natural Peanut Butter.
