Chocolate Protein Powder Oatmeal Recipe

One breakfast I’ve been loving is Double Chocolate Protein Powder Oatmeal.   With this Chocolate Protein Oatmeal, I get what I need: protein to keep energy up and chocolate. Because who doesn’t want chocolate in the morning? I look forward to waking up now!

The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make. In just a few minutes, breakfast is ready! If you love quick, protein-packed options, try my Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie made with chocolate protein powder for a afternoon pick me up, or bake a batch of Peanut Butter Protein Cookies to have on hand for an easy grab-and-go snack.

Ingredients

For my Chocolate Protein Powder Oatmeal you need one scoop of protein powder (I like both Vega and Quest) and a few basic ingredients that I know you have in your pantry.  Unlike other chocolate oatmeal recipes you don’t need cocoa powder because the protein powder adds enough chocolate taste.

I prefer using unsweetened vanilla almond milk because I love the taste, but you can use dairy, or even oat milk.

How to Make Chocolate Protein Oatmeal

This protein oatmeal is extremely easy to make, there’s really only 3 steps.

MIX. Combine milk (dairy or plant based), protein powder, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium high heat, whisking for about 3 minutes.

BOIL. Add in the rolled oats and continue to cook for about 3-4 more minutes or until they reach a light boil.

SERVE. Pour oatmeal in a bowl and then add in a handful of chocolate chips. Serve and enjoy!

    Please consider publishing the grams of protein powder you use. My 1 scoop (using what came with the powder) made my base way too thick. I had to add water, otherwise I was going to have a hard ball in the saucepan. And I didn’t add sugar or cinnamon. Watching the video you might have used 1 tablespoon whereas I used at least 3.
    I may try this again but I going to add my oats to my milk to let them cook a bit before I add the powder.
    Thanks!

      Hey Jen, I use 3 tablespoons of protein powder for this oatmeal. I just made it this morning so I could double check for you. 🙂

    Made this for two. If you’re gonna use a full scoop of protein powder you’re gonna need more milk I used 2 cups, also use more oats of course. Rest of the recipe stays the same.
