Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (almond, soy, or cow)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 tbsp softened cream cheese
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats, half of the milk, and ground cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the mixture frequently for five minutes until the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
Whisk the remaining milk with the protein powder in a separate small bowl to create a smooth slurry.
Pour the protein slurry into the saucepan and reduce the heat to low, stirring constantly until thickened.
Remove from heat once the desired consistency is reached.
Whisk together the Greek yogurt and cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth.
Top the cooked oats with the yogurt-cream cheese mixture and drizzle with maple syrup to serve.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the glaze. Use certified gluten-free oats if necessary. Adjust the amount of milk if you prefer a thinner porridge consistency.
