Three-Minute Egg White Oatmeal

September 17, 2014 by Julie 152 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

If you have a few minutes in the morning, you have enough time to make yourself a bowl of fluffy, filling and oh-so-tasty banana egg white oatmeal. This three-minute egg white oatmeal recipe is quick and easy.

Egg White Oatmeal Recipe

This is a recipe that is so delicious and filling that it works well for lunch or even a breakfast-for-dinner meal. This makes meal prep so easy and only takes three minutes to prepare!

(It also holds up so if you want to make it the night before and have it ready for breakfast the next day, it saves a lot of time.)

Egg White Oatmeal Ingredients

A few things about adding egg whites to oatmeal:

  • it helps the oats feel more filling
  • it actually makes the oatmeal fluffier

And you can still stir in things like nut butter, protein powder or fruit for more flavor. When you do, the oats taste light, airy and not nearly as dense as typical oatmeal. I like a super-ripe banana for the sweetness.

After three minutes in the microwave, breakfast is ready and from start to finish, this recipe takes about three minutes. Not too shabby!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats (you may use regular oats, but the cooking time will be a little longer)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice (I typically use almond milk)
  • 3/4 cup liquid egg whites (I use egg whites from a carton to make them easy to measure and pour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Peel and mash banana
  2. Stir banana and remaining ingredients together in a medium-size bowl, with room at the top so the oats can “grow” in the microwave without overflowing
  3. Microwave on high for three minutes, stirring after 75 seconds and then again every 30 to 45 seconds until three minutes are up
  4. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

I love to add in peanut butter, chopped almonds, fresh berries and pumpkin pie spice!

Oatmeal with Egg Whites

Depending on the ripeness of the banana, you may wish for the oats to be a little sweeter. If this is the case, add a drizzle of honey and then you’ll be good to go!

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!

What is your favorite way to prepare oatmeal? Any tips or tricks for making it more filling?

I like to add healthy fats (usually in the for of peanut butter or almond butter) in addition to some kind of protein punch to my oats. That definitely makes them more satisfying!

    This was very good and I couldn’t believe how hearty and filling it was. I did add a tablespoon of peanut butter. I will definitely being eating this regularly. Just wondering if you had the calorie intake for this.

    This was so amazing! I was nervous about the eggs — but you can’t even taste them. It was so filling and easy — will definitely become a breakfast regular.

    I just started my daughter’s 90 Day Fitness Challenge. Several mornings 5 and 6 egg whites are on the menu along with 2 WHOLE eggs, sometimes hard boiled and somtimes scrambled. Thank to you, I now have eigh palatable way to eat them — the whites that is — so THANK YOU so much for this recipe. BTW, I made it and it is delicious! But HOW pray tell, does one eat the whole bowl?

    If you make it the night before do you eat it cold regularly or do you heat it up again in the morning?

    This was so yummy especially with peanut butter. Could not eat a whole bowl, I assume this was a two serving recipe?

      So glad you liked it! It’s definitely a voluminous recipe but I actually do usually eat all of it myself!

    I love how fluffy the oats become! It is a big bowl, but I love filling breakfasts. My hunger was such that I finished it, & it was lovely. Because my banana wasn’t super ripe, I topped mine with a few butter toffee pecans & maple syrup.

    This recipe was a game changer! Normally, I’m starving a couple hours after eating oatmeal, but this recipe actually kept me full. I was concerned that it would taste like eggs but you really don’t taste them. They give the oatmeal a lovely, fluffy texture. Thank you for the recipe!

    I love this recipe! The extra boost of protein is great, and you really can’t taste the egg whites! I made sure I stirred often.
