This super quick high protein oatmeal recipe is packed with flavor and is the perfect breakfast for busy weekday (or weekend) mornings that will leave you full for hours! Plus, it’s vegan!
Why Make This Quick High Protein Blueberry Oatmeal Recipe
Usually I’m not a huge breakfast person, but some mornings I wake up STARVING – usually on weekday mornings. When that happens, I have neither the time nor the patience to make a super involved breakfast. Enter this quick high protein oatmeal. One of my favorite things about this recipe is how quick and easy it is to throw together (honorable mention goes to how good it tastes).
This recipe is made similarly to “dump cake” (aka a cake that’s made by just dumping all the ingredients in a bowl at once before stirring and baking), and although I generally, don’t approve of using the word “dump” in relation to food items, it is an accurate description of how easy this oatmeal is to make.
Also, with protein sources coming from almond milk and almond butter (though you can sub this for any kind of nut or seed butter you like), this oatmeal is not only vegan, but it’ll also keep you feeling fuller longer. Bursting blueberries, pure maple syrup and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice add lots of flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness.
The best part is, it only takes 2 minutes to assemble and 3 minutes to cook! Just think – you’re only 5 minutes away from the perfect breakfast meal!

How to Make The Best High Protein Blueberry Oatmeal
Here’s the part where you’ll see I’m not lying about how easy this oatmeal is to make. This recipe is meant for one, but can easily be doubled or tripled for more, and for fastest results (with the least amount of dishes) is traditionally done in a microwave.
Note that microwave cook times may vary slightly based on wattage, so always be sure to keep an eye on your oatmeal as it cooks and put in for an extra minute or two as needed.
But, if you don’t have a microwave or are looking to make this recipe for more than one or two people, I’d recommend cooking this in a medium-sized pot on the stovetop instead. Both methods are listed below.
In a Microwave:
- Combine ingredients: in a medium-sized, microwave-safe cereal bowl (or similar size), add ¼ cup of quick oats, 2 tablespoons of almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice), 1 ½ tablespoons of maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg (optional), ⅛ teaspoon of allspice (optional), ¼ cup of blueberries, ½ cup of almond milk
- Cook oatmeal: place bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes.
- Remove from microwave: after 2 minutes, remove from microwave and stir with a spoon, oats should be fully cooked and blueberries should be bursting. If not, cook in microwave on high for an additional 1-2 minutes based on the strength of your microwave.




On a Stovetop:
- Boil almond milk: in a medium-sized pot, boil ½ cup of almond milk.
- Add ingredients to pot: turn heat down to medium and stir in ¼ of quick oats. Then add 1 ½ tablespoons of maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon of nutmeg (optional), ⅛ teaspoon of allspice (optional), ¼ cup of blueberries.
- Cook: for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until oatmeal is fully cooked and blueberries are starting to burst. Stir in 2 tablespoons of almond butter and serve.
- Serve: in a heat-resistant bowl (like a ceramic bowl).
