High Protein Oatmeal
With 36g of protein, this protein porridge recipe fuels me for long runs, workouts, and busy days. Naturally sweetened with fruit and maple syrup, high protein oatmeal feels indulgent and keeps me full longer.

Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup water (118g)
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ cup steel cut oats (40g)
- 1 egg (50g)
- 1 scoop grass-fed collagen (this is the brand I recommend) (10g)
- 1 Tbsp flaxseed (8g)
- ½ banana, sliced (for serving) (59g)
- ¼ cup fresh berries (for serving) (24g)
- 1 tsp maple syrup, if desired (for serving) (6g)
Instructions
- Bring water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan.
- Add oats and reduce heat to medium-low, stirring occasionally.
- When the oats have absorbed ALL the water, remove from the heat. Crack an egg into the oats and immediately begin stirring. The egg will gently cook from the heat of the oatmeal.
- When the egg is thoroughly combined, add collagen powder and flaxseed and stir thoroughly.
- Top with flaxseed, banana, berries and maple syrup if desired.
Notes
What about overnight protein oatmeal? You’ll have to change two things about this oatmeal protein recipe.
- First, you’ll want to use old-fashioned oats instead of steel-cut oats. They’ll absorb the liquid better and will have a better texture by morning.
- Second, skip the egg. Since overnight oats aren’t cooked, the egg wouldn’t cook either. Instead, use some of the protein boosters listed above (find more in my Overnight Oats recipe post!)
