"A delicious, thick bowl of oatmeal that will make you wake up hungry every morning."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup quick oats
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1⁄2 cup cottage cheese
• 1⁄2 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (optional) or 1/2 cup chopped fruit (optional)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (brown sugar is nice instead, and splenda works too to keep it healthy)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional) or 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)

directions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, lightly beat the egg and add the oats, milk, fruit, sugar, and cottage cheese.
2. Stir well then microwave on high for 2 minutes.
3. Stir well again and microwave for another minute.
4. Keep repeating stirring and microwaving at 1 minute intervals atleast 3 times, until oatmeal becomes thick or to desired consistency. (I like mine really thick, almost pudding-like).
5. Remove and add vanilla, nuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. (A few dashes of fround ginger and/or cloves is good too if you want to change it up).
6. Stir and enjoy!

I doubled this and it was more than enough for me and my kids. Very good!

I love this recipe, it's so adaptable and a great way for me to get little miss DD to eat eggs. I used rolled oats so cooked it for a bit longer than stated. I've tried this with blueberries & banana & both times miss DD has happily gobbled this up. Thanks for a keeper!!

This was really a great recipe to try out! I made a small portion for a snack-used fat free cottage cheese, mashed bananas & Splenda. Next time I'm going to use about double the amt of banana, though, and less Splenda (probably about half the amt-and use a few Splenda packets for topping & additonal sweetness if needed). I'm going to increase on the cinnamon, too-personal tastes! My oatmeal thickened nicely after about three more stirrings in the microwave-just the way I like it, too! I loved the protein & healthy ingredients-thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
