For oatmeal fans who want more protein in their breakfast, adding yogurt and egg does the trick, making this somewhat like bread pudding. Although ⅔ cup of oats contains 3 grams of protein, you’ll get an additional 6 grams of protein by adding the egg, and even more if you top it with yogurt.
1 egg
⅓ cup milk
⅓ cup quick-cooking oats
¼ cup finely chopped apple
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash salt (optional)
¼ cup vanilla yogurt

Anne Reed says: Delicious! I had this for dinner tonight!
Sofia says: If someone is mildly allergic to eggs, what’s the alternate version for this recipe?
Katherine-Oldways says: Hi Sofia, you could still enjoy a regular bowl of oatmeal—just skip the egg! We have several oats recipes on our site. Check out this one: https://oldwayspt.org/recipes/overnight-apple-peanut-butter-oatmeal
Tammy says: Really good. Two minutes in the microwave, doesn’t get any easier than this. I will be making this again
Jamie says: So good!! Really easy and quick. Reminded me of French toast!
Marjorie Tomlinson says: I like a little more sweetness, and added 1 teaspoon maple syrup.
Becky says: My husband leaves for work quite early and doesn’t eat breakfast until he gets there. Could we make this up before he leaves and microwave it maybe 2 hours later? Thanks!
Katherine-Oldways says: Hi Becky, that should be fine. I would suggest keeping the wet and dry ingredients separate until you are going to cook, and be sure to keep the egg and milk mixture cold. I think our overnight oats recipes would be perfect for your husband’s schedule. Search “overnight oats” and you’ll find several recipes that can be quickly made the night before and just grabbed on your way out the door!
Karen says: Just the recipe I’ve been looking for
Egg protein thanks
Jane says: How long does this keep? Is it suitable for 7-day meal prep?
Hannah-Oldways says: This recipe will probably taste best right from the microwave. However, we have other oats recipes that will work well for meal prep!

Laora says: Amazing recipe, it’s quick and easy and still tastes delicious.
Amy says: Can I use instant oatmeal?
Hannah-Oldways says: We haven’t tried this recipe with instant oats. The cooking time and the final result might be different.

KATHY says: USE QUICK COOKING SCO OR PARTIALLY COOKED FROM BIG BATCH
