Learn how to make oatmeal on the stove and in the microwave. I make this healthy oatmeal recipe on a weekly basis. It's so light, creamy and fluffy plus it keeps me satisfied for hours. It's honestly the BEST oatmeal I've ever eaten and I'm so excited to share it with you.
I like to naturally sweeten the oats by cooking them with a banana and then I get them super fluffy by adding in some egg whites towards the end. I know this may sound weird, but it actually makes the most delicious oatmeal ever.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST OATMEAL
2/3 cup rolled oats
1 2/3 cup water, cold
1 banana, chopped
1 pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp peanut butter
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine oatmeal, 1 1/3 cup water, banana and salt in a small pot. Stir and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in remaining 1/3 cup of cold water.
Slowly stir in the egg whites, continually stirring until the oats look opaque.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the oats are creamy, tender and heated through.
Serve topped with extra sliced bananas, hemp seeds and peanut butter. Enjoy!
*NOTE*
If you want to cook your oatmeal in the microwave, make one serving at a time.
Combine 1/3 cup oats, 2/3 cup water, 1/2 chopped banana, and pinch of salt in a microwave safe dish (I like to use these glass spouted cups).
Cook for one minute in the microwave or until the oats are warmed and softened. DO NOT let the oats boil; they will be too hot and scramble the egg whites.
Slowly stir in 1/4 cup of egg whites and microwave for another minute. Stir in cinnamon, transfer to a bowl and top with sliced bananas, peanut butter and hemp seeds. Enjoy!

Happy Friday! I know the #CDFam LOVES oatmeal recipes, so I wanted to share my go-to favorite recipe for making morning oats. It really is my absolute favorite way to make them and I can confidently call this the best oatmeal recipe ever! So excited to hear your thoughts. xo-Dani
Never thought about using egg whites to oatmeal
Genius
It is so good! It gives the oats an extra boost of protein and it makes them so super creamy.
I’ve never tried this but I always make my oatmeal with almond, soy or oat milk. I made oatmeal once with water and literally gagged.
Omgosh. I cant wait to try this. I have oatmeal almost every morning. Thank you for sharing. Looks fab
Yay!! Enjoy it Teresa.
I love oatmeal and I am always experimenting with different add ins and flavors. The egg whites scare me because I just know I will end up with scrambled eggs lol.
Just don’t let the oats get too hot and the whites won’t scramble. #promise!

You’ve inspired me, once again, Dani, thank you~~!! Going to make this right now – so curious to taste the bananas cooked inside the oatmeal! Never done that before xox
It’s SO good Peace for Paz. I can’t wait to hear what you think.

@Peace for Paz lol!! so glad you are enjoying it.
“Banana Bite Bits” ⭐️
yes!
Might I suggest mixing some canned pumpkin into the oatmeal right when it’s done cooking. And I like to slap a pat of grass fed butter like Kerrygold on the top of the bowl of oatmeal and chopping up those candied pecans from Trader Joe’s and putting them on top too.
You’re welcome
LOL, THANK YOU! This really does so und delicious.
The canned pumpkin sounds amazing!
Never thought of using egg whites in oatmeal?
I add riced cauliflower to my oatmeal and sweeten it with applesauce, but I do need to do the banana and egg thing. (I usually top with Rx Nut butter for a little extra sweetness).
Do you think I can substitute quinoa flakes for the oatmeal and this will work? I’m allergic to oats
Good question. My guess is that this would work just fine, but I’ve never actually tried this myself.
I’ve been doing the cleanfoodcrush slow cooker apple pie oatmeal recipe
Omg the aggressive “mmm” at 0:22 had me laughing out loud!
