Pumpkin Pie Protein Oatmeal

Pumpkin pie for breakfast? Yes please! I’ve been loving this recipe for years!

Not only is it healthy, but it comes together in minutes!

I could eat this bowl year round. It’s just so good!! It seriously tastes like pumpkin pie, but it’s good for you! It’s packed with protein and carbs, so it makes the perfect post- workout meal!

I’ve been adding egg whites to my oatmeal for years. It sounds a little odd, but trust me it makes the oatmeal so fluffy. Plus, it adds an extra dose of protein!

I usually add a cinnamon or snickerdoodle protein powder to this recipe too- it adds more flavor, but feel free to leave that out if you rather get your protein solely from the egg whites!
