There are very few meals I repeat.
So much to experiment with, so little time…
Egg white oats are one of the chosen few things I keep in steady rotation. Egg whites in your oats may sound strange to some of you, but I swear it’s good. #strangebutgood
You really don’t taste the egg whites at all – even Vegas will attest to that. What you CAN taste is the fresh fruit and creamy oats. I used mango and blueberries, but you can change it up depending on what’s in season.
The egg whites make this bowl of oats light a fluffy. That’s something I appreciate, as I often don’t feel like having anything heavy in the morning.
The combination of complex carbs and protein gives me energy to start the day, and keeps me comfortably full through the morning. It’s a perfectly balanced breakfast!
If you have five minutes in the morning, you have enough time to make this!

That mango was ridiculously sweet and delicious. I heart spring.
What is your go-to way to prepare oatmeal?
What’s your favorite spring fruit?
Since I don’t eat eggs I can’t try them but with so many people raving about egg white oats they’re definitely intriguing me. Maybe I can come up with a vegan variation – and yes, I already have an idea in mind. Mango and blueberry are an awesome combination in anyway. Can blueberry season please start soon?!
Keep me posted! I so want this too but I can’t have egg whites. Maybe the yolks would still work? Or a vegan aquafaba?
I love the aquafaba idea!!! I keep meaning to try that out in so many things. Let me know if you try it!
Mangoes are the best! With skin! You have to eat the skin!!!
I always mix my oats with quinoa flakes, half and half!
The skin?! Ok… I’ll give it a shot…
Holy goodness! I just made this exact recipe last night but without the mango. It is so good!!! I have also found cooking the mixture in almond milk versus water reminds me of those scrambled eggs my mom made me as a kid with regular milk. I am definitely making this concoction a regular thing. You know you’re a health nut when you actually can say you love egg whites, ha!:) Cheers, thanks for the recipe!!:)
I go back and forth with milk vs. water… I need to try it with coconut milk. I bet that would be amazing with mango!
OK—may have to take your word on this with the egg whites and all. With summer coming, I love to do overnight oats with whatever fresh fruit is available!
So I’ve put egg whites in my oatmeal before, at the same time as the water. They never come out light and fluffy. I’m excited to try your take in it
Let me know how it works out for you! If it ever gets too liquid-y I just add come coconut flour. 🙂
I do the water, and then the egg whites. It is the way to go. I don’t care for cold oats, so I don’t typically do overnight oats, and thus why I am a pariah of the blogging community.
I can’t judge anyone… I hate potatoes.
Croc pot oats for the win! I love making a big batch and then just heating them up in the microwave at the side. Will try egg whites again… Normally I just have my oats with a side of scrambled eggs and ketchup!
Ugh… I STILL haven’t tried that! Soon. I swear.
Egg whites and oats are the only way to go. Truthfully, they are my secret weapon ingredient. You don’t even notice them in there!
That looks super easy! I am trying to eat more oatmeal
That does sound strange but I like eggs and I like oats. So why not? Extra protein is always good.
Sweet Eggs are just so sweet. It’s like why the hell are you sucking up to me !
I’D suck up to me.
Wow, I have never put mangos in oats, but that sounds DELICIOUS! I’ve also NEVER put egg whites in oatmeal. Isn’t it awesome that God made so much amazing food? 🙂 He is amazing Creator. I NEED to do this, because I have a hard time getting the protein in the oatmeal if I don’t add nut butter or yogurt.
You must try it!!! And report back, please. 🙂
Just tried this recipe but used a banana in place of the mangoas that was all I had to hand this morning.
It was really tasty and the pots and egg whites did taste creamy with the banana going really well with the cinnamon. Thank you do much for this recipe – I shall definitely try this again.
Oh – and I saved the egg yolks to have as eggy bread for lunch (french toast)
I’m so excited you tried it! Bananas are great in oats – anything for the extra cream-factor. Good call saving the yolks, too! 🙂
Until now eggs used to appear in my ‘sweet’ breakfast only in a pancake batter. This recipe will change it! Egg white in oats is a great protein replacement for anyone who (like me) doesn’t feel well after eating milk or yogurt in a morning porridge.
Thanks! I’d love to hear what you think if you try it!
Egg whites and I are BFF’s! They make everything so fluffy!
This looks so good! Very summery!
I typically do the overnight oats (no cooking) but this recipe is also quick so I may have to try it out! just reading the fruits in the name got me excited hehe.
Haha – it’s easy to get excited over the fruit out here. 🙂
I just need you to move in and make stuff for me because my lazy butt makes the same thing for breakfast every morning.
LOL! Just come to SoCal. We’ll have lots ‘o cauliflower pizzas and eggy oats.
