If you’re looking for a cozy but healthy fall breakfast that you can make in less than 10 minutes, this pumpkin pie protein oatmeal is your answer. It tastes like pumpkin pie filling but is actually packed with 26 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per serving. This is a recipe that you’ll want to make on repeat all throughout fall.

I am a huge fan of oatmeal. Oats are rich in soluble fiber, which helps support digestion and may help lower cholesterol. Since oats are primarily a carbohydrate source, I always recommend pairing oats with a protein and healthy fat source to make them a balanced meal. There are several ways you can add protein to your oats such as mixing in a scoop of protein powder (like in this recipe), adding a scoop of greek yogurt on top, or even cooking them with egg whites. To add healthy fats, you can add chopped nuts or seeds or a spoonful of nut butter on top.

Note: this recipe gets most of its sweetness from the protein powder. If you skip the protein powder, you may want to add an additional sweetener to the base of the oatmeal.

I hope you love this pumpkin pie protein oatmeal! If you’re looking for more fun oatmeal recipes, check out this peanut butter and jelly protein oatmeal, custard oats with cinnamon apples, or this sugar cookie oatmeal.
