Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Stir in the rolled oats and a pinch of salt, then lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until oats have absorbed most of the water.

  3. 3

    Turn off the heat and immediately whisk in the whey protein powder, stirring steadily to prevent clumping. Make sure the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Fold in the sliced banana and cinnamon for additional flavor and natural sweetness. Let it rest for 1–2 minutes to thicken.

  5. 5

    Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, sprinkle almonds evenly on top, and drizzle with honey if desired. Serve warm for best texture.
