Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups soy milk
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or to taste

Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt optional
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds optional
  • fresh fruit optional
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Instructions
 

Stovetop Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the oats, seeds, peanut butter, chocolate chips and maple syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and everything has melted together in a creamy consistency. This takes about 5-7 minutes.

Microwave Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients into a medium microwave safe bowl and stir together. Heat in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes. If you need more liquid to get the consistency add in one tablespoon at a time. Add toppings after the high protein has cooked through. 

Assembly

  • Add toppings and let rest for a few minutes to cool. Thin with a little more milk, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 5 days in the fridge.
Make Ahead Tips: You can make the oatmeal in advance. To reheat, simply add a splash of milk or water and microwave for 1 minute.
Substitutes: You can use any type of milk you like. Substitute the chocolate chips with cocoa powder, omit the maple syrup for lower sugar content.
* Please note the nutrition label does not include any toppings.
