Hello everyone, today I am posting a recipe for a really delicious pie that I created by accident. If you have read my previous recipe on my Overnight Oatmeal mix, you will see that it is quite similar. I just changed a couple of ingredients and the process is slightly different to result in more of a pie-like form so you can enjoy it as a treat and truly reap the benefits of these ingredients.
INGREDIENTS: 1/2 of quick oats, boiled water, ground flaxseed, sea salt, ground cinnamon, 2tbsp chocolate hemp protein powder, 1/2 scoop (16-18g) of chocolate whey protein, 1/6 cup of sliced almonds, small handful of raisins, blueberries, some almond milk
RECIPE: As a side note before I begin, you can use just one source of protein powder. you don’t have to use hemp and whey like I did. I just did that because I usually have a protein shake somewhere in the day and I don’t like to use too much of one protein source all the time. I used half of a serving for each, so if you wanted to do just straight whey protein in this pie, then you would use the whole scoop. Keep in mind, this is intended as one serving, but you can split it up however you wish.
- Bring 1/2 cup of quick oats to a boil with just enough water to bury the oats in the bowl or dish and stir
- add 2tbsp of ground or milled flaxseed, 2tbsp of chocolate hemp protein, 1/2 scoop of chocolate whey protein (or one scoop of whey or 4tbsp of hemp) and stir until consistency is reached
- If the mix gets hard and dry, add in some almond milk and continue stirring
- Add in desired amount of sea salt and cinnamon and stir
- Again, as the mix thickens, add in some more almond milk and stir until consistency is reached
- Add in about 1/2 cup of blueberries (washed is recommended). Don’t mush the blueberries unless you want them that way, just bury them in the mix
- Add in about 1/6 cup of sliced almonds and about 1/3 cup of raisins
- You might want to top up on some more almond milk if it has thickened up again and stir until hardened (sounds retarded, but you will know what I mean when you go to make your own likely). You want the end result to be thick like a pie and not thin like oatmeal
- Once thoroughly mixed and thick, leave it to cool down and put in the fridge for later (sorry you can’t have it yet lol)
I will just let you know before you decide to bash me and say that the end result is not a pie, that I am aware of that. I know it sucks that you can’t just cut a slice out and eat it. This is meant to be eaten with a spoon out of the bowl or dish. There’s nothing wrong with that is there? LOL
You can always swap ingredients for others that you wish to use. Make it your own, be creative and show me what you come up with. Or you can make yours exactly as mine is and see how it turns out for you.
This is my new favourite breakfast and it makes me look forward to getting up in the morning.
Quick eating tip: Don’t eat upon waking up. Doing this raises cortisol, a stress hormone that will likely lead to fat gain.
MACRONUTRIENT PROFILE
500 calories, 33g of protein, 45g of carbs, 18g of fat, 7g of fibre (estimated)
Keep in mind that these numbers are met for in conjunction with my caloric intake and fitness goals. Don’t suggest that these numbers are ideally healthy for you. People have different metabolic responses and require a different amount of calories and nutrients like protein, fats and carbs for their desired body and health. You may also likely have different health and fitness goals for your ideal body. For this reason, suggesting that this amount of calories or macronutrients is unhealthy is likely from an uneducated, biased opinion.
