Start your day off with this protein oatmeal that tastes just like a healthy cinnamon roll! It's SO quick, easy, healthy and will keep you full until lunch!
1TbspReduced-fat Cream cheesesoftened (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.
Notes
*Brown sugar can be subbed if you do not coconut sugar. However, some people find brown sugar slightly sweeter than coconut sugar, so you may want to use a little bit less to suit your taste. :)
