Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk until well combined. Set aside. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, bring 1 cup of milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Stir in the rolled oats and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Slowly pour the beaten egg mixture into the oats, stirring constantly to prevent the egg from scrambling. Continue cooking until the egg is fully cooked and the oatmeal reaches a very thick and creamy consistency, approximately 5 minutes. If the oatmeal becomes too thick, add additional milk to reach your desired consistency. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the oatmeal into a heat-proof bowl. Stir in the maple syrup and peanut butter until fully incorporated. Top with sliced banana and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein, king-worthy oatmeal! (Assembly time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding the milk.
Feel free to experiment with different nut butters and toppings to customize your oatmeal.
If you're short on time, you can microwave the oatmeal instead of cooking it on the stovetop, but the texture may not be as creamy.
For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and a flax egg replacer.
