We all know how good oats are.
Oats in a jar, oats with nut butter, oat cookies, oats in granola, oats in smoothies and stovetop oats.
This time, I wanted to fluff up my oats. I mean really puff those babies up and give them a big head like they deserve.
So here it goes: Oats + Egg Whites = Fantastically Fluffy Oatmeal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oatmeal Fluff
2 servings of your favorite oatmeal cooked
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Make your oatmeal on the stovetop as usual. I used part milk, water and honey vanilla flavored coffee creamer and McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal. Beat 4 egg whites, cream of tartar and cinnamon in a medium bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. When there is just a little bit of liquid left in your oatmeal on the stovetop, fold in the beaten egg whites and continue to stir while cooking on medium low heat for 3-5 minutes. Keep stirring until oatmeal gets as thick as you like it. Spoon into a bowl and serve!
Add sweetener or vanilla/almond extract if desired to flavor your fluffy oats!
I used part water, part skim milk and part honey vanilla flavored coffee cream liquid as the base for my bowl of oats.
Beat the 4 egg whites, cinnamon and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form~
Stir the whipped egg whites in to the cooked oatmeal~
I should have put in some vanilla or almond extract too~Next time!~
Keep stirring and stirring until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency~
Can you see the egg whites in the oats? Puffed it up alright!
The oatmeal was so light and airy, not heavy and thick like oatmeal sometimes is~
I should have drizzled on some nut butter or something, but this just tasted really good as is!
I have OATMEAL fever. Do you?

I love pomegranates on my oats!
I know there are a ton of toppings to put on a bowl of oats, but if you could only choose 1 thing to put on your oatmeal bowl, what would it be?

I’ve been slowlllly coming out of my oatmeal phase. When it gets warmer I want a cooler breakfast! But i eat oats EVERY day in the winter 🙂
Wow! I never would’ve thought about egg whites in oatmeal. Sounds delicious!
I still don’t know why I haven’t done this considering I eat oatmeal every morning lol If I could choose one thing it would have to be nut butter 😀
Cinnamon — love it!
This looks AMAZING! Bookmarked 🙂
No way! Oatmeal Fluff?!?!?! I love it! 😀
I’ve seen this time and time again but never tried it because I’m always afraid the eggs won’t get cooked or something! but this is a really thorough how-to, I SHOULD be able to figure it out…
Yum!
Great idea!
PB definitely my topping of choice.
I like oats but really only eat them on the weekend when I have time to make it on the stovetop. I’ve heard about eggwhites in oatmeal but it kinda skeeves me out when I’ve heard about it. But now I see the visual and yours are gorgeous!
I go through streaks! I LOVE oatmeal anyday all day but I usually only have it for breakfast and lately I’ve been enjoying cinnamon crunch cheerios for breakfast. Ooooh yeah! 🙂
I’m loving the fluff idea!
Yummm this sounds delicious! I am eating oatmeal right now. And yes, I definitely have oatmeal fever too! I actually just did an oatmeal series on my blog 🙂 http://www.confessionsofachocoholic.com/healthy/oatmeal-7-ways
Is the egg whites taste strong? Or can you not taste them?
I didn’t really taste them!
I have no idea why I just can’t be down with the egg whites in oatmeal? For some reason it really weirds me out! Although everyone raves about it… weird…
would have never thought of that! does it taste pretty different from regular oatmeal?
So much better than regular oatmeal!
