- Hi friends, welcome back to my channel.
If you're new here, my name is Alyssa.
I'm currently filming this
on an incredibly rainy
and cold day so I feel like
today's recipe is perfect
'cause we are making a
creamy, peanut butter oatmeal
that is packed with plant-based protein
but it doesn't use any protein powder
which I know you guys will like.
And this recipe is super-simple to make
and I really am excited
to share it with you
because I feel like simple recipes
are what we all need right now.
So this recipe is
flavorful, it's gluten-free
if you use gluten-free oats.
Like I said, it's high
in protein, it's vegan
and it's just delicious.
So the recipe's up on
the blog for you already
if you're interested in making it.
You can find the link right
down below in this video
that has all the instructions
and the ingredient list
and everything you need to make it.
So make sure to check that
out and before we dive in,
I always like to invite you to subscribe
if you are not yet part of
our channel here on YouTube.
There's a red button
right below this video.
It says subscribe you can tap that button
and that's all you gotta do.
Otherwise, let's go ahead and get started.
All right, so I know you guys
know how to make oatmeal,
but I'm gonna walk you through anyway.
So we're gonna add our oats into our pot
and then for protein we are adding
a tablespoon of hemp seeds as well as
as tablespoon of chia seeds.
And then I'm gonna add in my milk
and a tablespoon of peanut butter.
So this is base alone of the oatmeal
has 16 grams of protein.
And then you'll see that
I'm actually topping it
with a little bit of
protein bar at the end
for some crunch so that's
adding even more protein in.
So essentially just stir it all together,
bring this mixture to a low simmer.
Continue to stir it until it has thickened
to your desired consistency.

If you're good with no sweetness
you can just serve it as is.
I like to add a little bit
of sweetness to my oatmeal
so I added in a tablespoon of maple syrup
and I just stirred that in.
And then I transferred
the oatmeal into my bowl.
And the toppings, like I said
are gonna add even more
plant-based protein.

So I'm doing a drizzle of peanut butter.
And optional, you could
also use almond butter,
you could use cashew butter.
I just love having some sort
of additional nut butter on top.
And then like I said, I did a chopped up
chocolate protein bar.
I'll link some of my
favorites down below for you.
And then finished it with a sprinkle
of chia seeds and hemp seeds.
Just, you know, more
protein, more healthy fats.
And then finally some cacao
nibs and for some reason
I love something cool on top of oatmeal.
So sometimes it's yogurt.
In this case I just did a
drizzle/like a little pour
of almond milk and just
adds more creaminess.
Like I said, it adds a
little bit of like cooling
to the oatmeal and it's just so delicious.
I highly recommend trying
this if you haven't done that.
And that is pretty much
it for our high protein
peanut butter oatmeal.
You can just dig in and actually this does
keep really well in
the fridge so you could
make a double portion,
have one in the morning,
keep it for the next day.
You can eat it cold, you can reheat it.
Oatmeal's just one of those things
that is super-customizable
and great for meal prep.
So I hope you guys give it a try.
And I hope you really like it.
And there you have it my
friends, I hope you enjoyed
that delicious oatmeal recipe.
