For me, oats are the ultimate comfort food. They’re warm, cozy, and so filling. Especially when you pile them high with tons of toppings or fresh fruit! The only downside to oatmeal is that it’s a total carb overload. Now, don’t get me wrong – carbs are great, but in order to keep you feeling full and have a complete meal – you need protein and healthy fats to go with them! That’s why I love this oatmeal with egg whites!
Things you’ll need to make Egg White Oatmeal:
How to make egg white oatmeal
It’s not hard to add egg whites in your oatmeal, but the key is in the timing. You don’t want to over cook the egg whites because they will get rubbery. Heat 3/4 cup almond milk in pan. Once almond milk is boiling, add in oats and cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes until almost all of the milk is absorbed.
Once all of the almond milk is just about absorbed in oatmeal, stir in egg whites, cinnamon, ginger + honey and remaining 1/4 cup almond milk.
Your egg white oatmeal should look fluffy and you shouldn’t be able to tell there are eggs in it!
Why should you add egg whites to oatmeal?
- Added protein – Adding egg whites in your oatmeal can add an extra 15-20g of protein! Since oatmeal is typically a carb heavy meal, this helps to make it a more balanced meal.
- Added fluffiness – Adding egg whites to your oatmeal helps it be more ‘fluffy’ and dense!
- No taste– Egg whites don’t taste like anything, so why not add them!?

Tips for making Egg White Oatmeal:
- Make sure you stir the oatmeal consistently when you pour in the egg whites. If you don’t stir the egg whites, they will cook up unevenly and you’ll wind up with oats and scrambled egg whites.. I promise you don’t want this!
- Load up on the toppings! The honey, cinnamon and ginger definitely add flavor – but fresh fruit and nut butters make this egg white oatmeal so much better!

Just stumbled across your blog! Its super catchy and fun! I love your post about Egg Whites and not getting enough protein so you tried to drink it straight hahaha! I can totally relate!

Hi Jacquey – this is a MUCH better way to get protein in than trying to drink egg whites straight, lol! I definitely won’t be doing that again! Hope you enjoy it!
