A gym-favorite trick: egg whites whisked into hot oatmeal right off the heat turn it impossibly fluffy and creamy while doubling the protein. You can't taste the egg, just cinnamon, maple and warm blueberries.

Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups milk
3 cups liquid egg whites
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 tbsp peanut butter, for drizzling

From your pantry: 2 cups water, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ tsp salt.

Instructions

Bring the oats, milk, water, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until thick and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat. Pour in the egg whites while whisking constantly, then keep whisking for about 2 minutes. The oatmeal will turn pale, puffy and thick.
Return the pan to low heat for 1 minute, stirring, so the whites are fully cooked through.
Whisk the protein powder with the vanilla and 2 tbsp water until smooth, then stir it into the oatmeal.
Spoon into bowls and top with blueberries and a drizzle of peanut butter.

Tip: Keep whisking the whole time the whites go in. If you stop, they set into little scrambled bits instead of whipping into the oats.
