For those of you hesistant to try eggs in your oatmeal..
I have been meaning to try eggs or eggwhites in my oatmeal for a while, but have been somewhat affraid. I like sweet oatmeal, so i wasn't sure about adding in eggs.
I came accross this recipe on (http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2011/12/12/the-best-300-calorie-oatmeal-youll-ever-have/#comment-20278) and gave it a try.. so good!!
Egg White Whipped Oatmeal
•2/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
•4 egg whites, beaten with a fork until frothy
•½ tablespoon salted butter
•½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1.In a small pot, combine oats with 1 1/3 cups water (always double the amount of water to the amount of oats. Ex: ½ cup oats cook in 1 cup water).
2.Heat on the stovetop, uncovered, on medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a simmer (about 4 minutes). Stir and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed much of the water.
3.Pour in the egg whites and vanilla and whip vigorously with a fork, until the mixture is well blended. Raise the burner heat to medium. Stir in the butter.
4.Continue to cook for 4 minutes more, bringing the oats back to a simmer and stirring frequently.
5.When the oats have absorbed all of the water and the egg whites have caused them to puff and appear creamy, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the oats sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir and serve immediately.
I am not sure at what point you put in the butter, but I think if you just put in a pinch of salt in with the oats and water instead then that should be fine. It says the oatmeal is 300 calories and serves 1, but I found it was enough for 2. I also added 1 tsp (splenda) brown sugar to it, as well as a splash of vanilla almond milk.

That sounds good! Kind of reminds me of rice pudding or baked bread pudding; it looks like it would have a custard consistency and the vanilla would probably make it taste yummy. I'm going to try this tomorrow morning, maybe I'll add some dried fruit and thanks to my horrible sweet tooth probably some splenda or truvia too. Thanks for the tip!0

Hmm...I thought this sounded like an interesting way to combine my 2 favorite breakfast foods. I ran it through the recipe calculator as well and came up with 302 calories. Perhaps "LethaSue" used whole eggs instead of egg whites...?0

First ya squat, den ya deadlift...den ya put da eggs in ya oats!0

No I added egg whites and 4 of them, it said the egg whites alone were 100 calories0

Sounds good!
eggs: 60 cals
2/3 cup oats: 200 cals
1/2 tbsp butter: 50 cals
Total 310 cals0 -
Lol I WOULD read this after making oatmeal and egg whites separately for breakfast. Must try tomorrow!0
-
B-U-M-P!!! Sounds delish. Can't wait to get back from vacation to make this! 0
-
ummm I'm always in2 heating weird combinations but this top it...might have 2 try this in my Andrew Zimmerman voice lol0

Ok I ran it again and also came out with 301 on calories........... I think the problem was in the oats, some of the listings have cooked oats and not dry oats.......... I also see someone else came out with 200 calories on oats and only 60 on the egg whites. Always good to second guess what the data base has in the way of calories as many times people add the wrong info there.0

Don't forget, I think this recipe is enough for 2 people..so only half the calories (approximately 150)
You can then add in your favourite toppings. Today I put cinnamon, 1/4 apple and 1tsp splenda brown sugar.
I also blended the egg whites with an electric hand mixer!! It was huge and a bit hard to integrate with the oatmeal at first but the result was delicious!! and even more filling..0 -
Yum sounds good!!!0

Butteryep, it's not dairy, there is no milk in it..0 -
what an awesome way to fuse some protein in there!!! I'm totally going to try this, I bet it would carry you for a good amount of time. I like foods that keep me satisfied and don't burn off too quickly. Thanks for the share!!0

Bump. Thank You0

Cake Batter Oatmeal:
*Mix together 1/2 cup oats

* 1/2-2 Tablespoons of Natural Peanut Butter ( I prefer Peanut Butter and Co Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter ) ---http://ilovepeanutbutter.com/cinnamonrasinswirl.html
It is incredible! Also includes a healthy fat, healthy protein, and healthy complex slow digesting carbohydrate.
Total Calories=350 if you use 1 Tablespoon of the PB.
It really is a great start to your day if you have worked on on an empty stomach or just need something to help give you energy til Lunch. 0 -
