Peaches and Cream Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats
• 1/2 cup skim milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
• 1/2 cup peaches, frozen
• 1/2 cup water
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (Best. Vanilla. Ever.)
• 1/2 tsp stevia
• 1/2 scoop (16g) vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 0.2 oz toasted walnut pieces

Directions
In a medium size pan, heat the oats, milk, frozen peaches, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, turn it down to medium low and continue to stir, breaking apart the peaches into bite-size pieces, and allowing the mixture to thicken, about 3-4 more minutes.

Next add the vanilla extract, protein powder, cinnamon, and stevia and stir until incorporated. Pour into a serving bowl and top with toasted walnuts.

Note: The protein powder adds a different texture, almost a little grainy. I liked the taste of this recipe, it was very good, but if you are sensitive to textures, you may not like this. I am planning to do another Peaches and Cream Oatmeal recipe (version 2), omitting the protein powder, and adding a vanilla yogurt instead, as the “cream” part.
