High Protein Snickers Oatmeal

High Protein Snickers Oatmeal is your new go-to breakfast for a satisfying and energizing start to your day. This recipe transforms traditional oatmeal into a delicious, guilt-free treat packed with protein, reminiscent of your favorite candy bar.

Key Ingredients for High Protein Snickers Oatmeal:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats are best for texture)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• 1 scoop (approximately 30g) chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)
• 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (roasted and salted or unsalted)
• 1 tablespoon chopped sugar-free or dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
• Optional toppings: a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce, a few extra chopped peanuts, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut

How to Make High Protein Snickers Oatmeal:

This High Protein Snickers Oatmeal is blissfully simple, requiring minimal effort for maximum reward. In under 10 minutes, you’ll have a creamy, nutrient-dense bowl that tastes like a decadent dessert but fuels you like a champion. The combination of creamy oats, rich chocolate, and satisfying peanut butter makes it incredibly delicious and filling.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Combine Wet Ingredients and Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract. Add a pinch of salt if you desire a more pronounced flavor profile.
2. Cook the Oats: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally as it begins to warm up. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have softened and absorbed most of the liquid, creating a thick and creamy consistency.
3. Incorporate Protein Powder: Remove the saucepan from the heat. This is crucial to prevent the protein powder from clumping or becoming rubbery. Add the scoop of chocolate protein powder and stir vigorously until it is completely smooth and well incorporated into the oatmeal. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. Add Peanut Butter and Mix: Stir in the tablespoon of peanut butter until it melts and blends into the oatmeal, adding a rich, nutty depth. Ensure it’s evenly distributed for that classic Snickers flavor.
5. Assemble Your Snickers Creation: Pour the finished oatmeal into a serving bowl.
6. Add the Snickers Flair: Sprinkle the chopped peanuts and chocolate chips evenly over the top of the oatmeal.
7. Garnish and Enjoy: For an extra touch of indulgence, add a drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce, if using. Serve immediately and savor your flavorful, protein-packed breakfast.

• Stovetop: Gently reheat the chilled oatmeal in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Add a touch more milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
• Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze individual portions of the oatmeal in freezer-safe containers or bags. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating as directed above.
