Ready to Fuel Your Mornings?
This oatmeal is a protein-rich way to start your day feeling satisfied, energized, and nourished. Whether you’re chasing kids, heading to work, or getting ready for your next workout—this bowl’s got your back 💪
Why I Love This Breakfast
As a personal trainer, I’m always looking for ways to help my clients (and myself!) eat more protein—without sacrificing taste or time.
This High Protein Microwave Banana Oatmeal has been my go-to on busy mornings when I’m rushing between client sessions or squeezing in a workout before the day gets hectic. It’s naturally sweet, super filling, and comes together in under 10 minutes—all using pantry staples and a microwave!
It also reheats surprisingly well, which makes it perfect for prepping ahead if you’re into batch breakfasts.
What Makes This Oatmeal Special
✅ 30g of protein
✅ No stove required
✅ Naturally sweetened with banana

Ingredients You’ll Need
• 1 large, ripe banana
• 1/2 cup quick oats (works better than old fashioned for microwave prep)
• 0.5 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
• 6 oz liquid egg whites (from carton)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (or more if desired)
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
Step-by-Step Instructions
Other optional toppings:
cinnamon
chia seeds
banana slices
berries
⚠️ Use caution: the bowl gets hot! Let it cool for a minute before digging in.
FAQs
Can I use whole eggs instead of egg whites?
Yes, but the texture will be more custardy, and the fat/calorie content will increase.
Can I make this ahead?
Totally! Store in the fridge and reheat with a splash of almond milk. It’s also great cold!
What kind of oats should I use?
Quick oats work best for microwave cooking. You can pulse old fashioned oats in a blender a few times to mimic the texture if needed.
