Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1.5 cups low fat milk
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup low fat greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup blueberries

Method
 

  1. Combine the oats, milk, water, salt, and cinnamon in a small pot. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the oats are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  2. Keep the heat on low. Pour in the egg whites in a slow, thin stream while stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon.
  3. Keep stirring 2 minutes. The oatmeal will thicken, turn pale, and get noticeably fluffy. It's done when no liquid egg white is visible and the mixture looks like a soft pudding.
  4. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let it sit 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth. This cools the oatmeal and makes it creamy.
  6. Divide between two bowls. Top each with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, half the maple syrup, and half the blueberries.
  7. Swirl the peanut butter through with a spoon and eat while warm.

Notes

If the oatmeal gets too thick, stir in a splash of milk at the end. Frozen blueberries work fine; add them to the pot with the oats so they warm through. Nutrition is calculated per serving from the listed ingredients and may vary with brands and substitutions.
