Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Rolled old fashioned oatmeal (GF if needed)
- 2 Tbsp Truvia or sweetener of choice to taste + more to sweeten the cream cheese
- 1 Cup water
- 1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp Vanilla extract divided
- 2 Tbsp Vanilla Whey protein powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp Coconut sugar
- 4-5 tsp Water depending how thick your protein is
- 1 Tbsp Reduced-fat Cream cheese softened (I use the Philadelphia 2x Protein with Greek yogurt)
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine the oatmeal and Truvia.
- Add in the water and 1/4 tsp of the vanilla extract and bring to boil over medium/high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer until the oats are thick, stirring frequently. (About 5 minutes)
- Take the oatmeal off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- While the oatmeal cool, stir together the protein powder, cinnamon and coconut sugar in a small bowl. Add in the water, 1 tsp at a time and stir to create a thick, but spreadable, paste....like what you would spread in a cinnamon bun. Set aside,
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, and remaining 1/8 tsp of vanilla extract. Sweeten to taste.
- Add the cinnamon mixture and the cream cheese into the oatmeal and swirl around.
- DEVOUR.
