Ingredients
Makes 1 Serving
½
cup rolled oats
½
cup unsweetened almond milk
½
cup frozen cherries, chopped
1
tsp honey
1
tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
¼
tsp vanilla extract
1
pinch salt
⅓
cup liquid egg whites (or 3 large egg whites)
1
tbsp almond butter
Preparation
Step 1
In a small pot, heat oats, almond milk, cherries, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and oats are plump, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk egg whites until slightly bubbly. Add cooked oatmeal to egg whites a spoonful at a time, whisking between each addition, until oatmeal is fully incorporated.
Step 3
Pour mixture back into pot and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until oats are thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to turn the heat too high, so eggs don’t scramble.
Step 4
Top with almond butter.
