So yesterday I woke up early and started my day with a little pinterest. I am addicted, I know this but the whole website is amazing and great for getting new ideas for crafts, exercises and meals.
I saw that my friend Clare had posted some amazing recipe/photo of microwave oats with an egg in them. I thought, wow so easy and a great protein meal. It was then decided that I would try my kitchen skills out with oats, eggs and a microwave.
I used the following:
1/4 cup quick oats
a dash of cinnamon (a lot actually)
1 whole egg
a little almond milk
handful of blueberries
put all these in a mug and whip them up. Microwave for 2 minutes and volia! I will warn you that when doing this in a coffee mug the oats puff up beyond the mug which caused the loss of some blueberries and a whole lot of juice to go all over the microwave (messy cleanup!)
These were...mhhh, okay. I wasn't impressed with how much I could actually taste the egg but I added some more almond milk and brown sugar and we were good to go. Since I was working all day yesterday it was a good thing I had such a hearty breakfast, this baby lasted me until I got out of work at 4pm (I was starving at 2 but didn't have time) so A good meal to hold you over for, say, 5 hours!
Today I went with a different mix:
1 egg white
1/4 cup multigrain oats (different from yesterday)
dash of cinnamon
almond milk
water
The first batch didn't have enough liquid and I got more of an oatmeal/ egg crunch pancake. So I tried again to make sure I had the right amount of liquid per oats.
Volia! Added some organic crunchy PB, strawberries, blueberries and half a nanner.
Nothing like sweet summertime!
