Fluffified Oatmeal

Fluffified Oatmeal

I found myself needing to make breakfast without a lot of ingredients. I had liquid egg whites and oatmeal. I came across this recipe: http://thehealthyfoodie.com/fluffy-apple-cinnamon-egg-white-oatmeal/. The resulting oatmeal came out delicious, nutritious, filling, and can be made your own depending on what mix-ins you add.

You will need:
Base ingredients
1 1/2 cups of water
1/2 a cup of rolled oats
1/2 a cup of liquid egg whites
My mix-ins
1/2 a cup of blueberries
1 tablespoons of brown sugar
dash of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of pecan pieces

1. Start by boiling the water in a pot. 

2. Once it reaches a boil, pour in all the oats and mix it around with a whisk. Keep the pot uncovered and lower the heat so the mixture simmers.

3. Once the oatmeal has absorbed 3/4 of the water (about 5 minutes), add in the brown sugar, vanilla, and half the blueberries. Whisk all the ingredients around.

4. While whisking vigorously, stream in the egg whites and keep whisking for a minute. Your mixture will add significant volume.

5. Add in the rest of the blueberries and pecans.

Enjoy!
