High Protein Eggs & Oats (Print Version)

Protein-rich make-ahead breakfast of creamy oats, hard-boiled eggs and Greek yogurt, ready for busy mornings.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)

→ Protein

03 - 6 large eggs

→ Creamy Topping

04 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

→ Flavorings & Add-Ins

05 - 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
07 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon
08 - Pinch of salt
09 - Fresh fruit or berries, for serving (optional)
10 - Nuts or seeds, for topping (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium saucepan, combine oats, milk, cinnamon, vanilla (if using), and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes until creamy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
02 - While oats are cooking, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 7-8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Transfer eggs to an ice bath, then peel and slice.
03 - Divide cooked oats among 4 meal prep containers. Drizzle each with honey or maple syrup.
04 - Top each portion with 1.5 sliced hard-boiled eggs.
05 - Add a dollop of Greek yogurt to each container.
06 - Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds if desired.
07 - Refrigerate; enjoy cold or gently warmed in the morning.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The creamy oats and tangy yogurt make every bite feel special, even on rushed mornings.
  • Hard-boiled eggs turn simple oats into a filling meal that keeps you satisfied until lunchtime.
02 -
  • Once I forgot the salt, and everything tasted surprisingly flat—even with all the toppings, so never skip it.
  • Letting the eggs sit too long makes them chalky, but a quick ice bath keeps the yolks creamy and bright.
03 -
  • Cooking the eggs just until set keeps them creamy and easy to slice—set a timer for best results.
  • Finishing with a pinch of flaky salt on top turns all the flavors up a notch.
