Chef's Note

For the most authentic Moroccan flavor, toast your spices in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding them to the porridge. This activates their essential oils and creates a more aromatic dish. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the cooked porridge briefly with an immersion blender before adding the toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1 scoop (30g) protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)

  • 3 tablespoons egg whites

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (0% fat)

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds

  • 1 tablespoon dried apricots (unsweetened)

  • 3 leaves fresh mint leaves

Instructions
  • 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  • 2

    Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric. Stir well to combine.

  • 3

    Cook the oats for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until they begin to thicken.

  • 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons egg whites and 1 scoop protein powder until smooth.

  • 5

    Slowly pour the egg white mixture into the oats while stirring continuously to prevent clumping. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens further.

  • 6

    Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon honey until well incorporated.

  • 7

    Finely chop 1 tablespoon dried apricots and mince 3 mint leaves, reserving a few small pieces for garnish.

  • 8

    Transfer the porridge to a serving bowl and top with 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, the chopped dried apricots, and minced mint.

  • 9

    Allow to cool slightly before serving, as the porridge will continue to thicken.
