Instructions
Make the oats
- Combine 2 cups oat milk with a pinch of salt in a pot. Bring to a boil. Stir in the 1.5 cup quick cook oats and reduce to medium heat; cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the ¼ c egg whites, and 6 tablespoon hemp seeds, cover, and let stand for 2-3 minutes.If using rolled oats or other kind, follow the package instructions for making the oats. If you want to make this in the microwave, check out the notes section below.
Make the caramelized bananas (can use any topping you like)
- Add ½ tablespoon oil to a sauce pan or skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add in the ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon vanilla, and 4 tablespoon maple syrup. Give this a stir and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the sliced ½ banana, ensuring that they are all in one layer and laying on the flat side. Let this cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is sticky and bubbling and the bananas have softened. Do not try to move the bananas yet!
- Gently flip the bananas, making sure they are mostly golden brown. Let them cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Plate up the oatmeal in bowls and top with caramelized bananas. Top with optional Cashew butter and Yogurt or coconut whip.

Notes
how to make microwave egg white oatmeal
I love making oatmeal in the microwave. It’s the best way to make oatmeal quick. But, to make actually good-tasting microwave oatmeal, I implore you to follow these steps!- Add oats and water (quantity per container) to a deep, microwave-safe bowl. Add a pinch of salt and stir.
- Microwave for 45 seconds. While it’s microwaving, separate eggs white from eggs. Carton egg whites will work too.
- Remove the oatmeal and add 1 egg white or ⅛th of a cup of egg whites to the oatmeal. Stir to thoroughly combine.
- Return the microwave for 45 more seconds.
- Enjoy the most creamy, restaurant-quality oatmeal that’s ready in under 2 minutes.
storage tips
This oatmeal saves great in the fridge but should not be frozen. To keep in the fridge, store in an air-tight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, heat in the microwave for 45 seconds with a splash of milk or reheat on the stovetop, stirring constantly and adding a splash of milk to help rehydrate it.Looking for more information?
