Oats and egg whites in one bowl sounds odd until you taste it — the egg whites make it thick and protein-dense. A sneaky pre workout power move.
In a medium saucepan, combine oats, almond milk, and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat while stirring regularly.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until the oats begin to soften and the mixture thickens.
Slowly pour in the liquid egg whites while whisking constantly, keeping the heat on low to prevent curdling.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until the oats are creamy and the egg whites are fully integrated, giving a custard-like texture.
Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and cinnamon, then fold in half the sliced banana. Spoon into bowls and top with remaining banana slices. Serve immediately for best texture.
