  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the oats are tender and creamy, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 scoop (approx. 30g) unflavored protein powder and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Chop 1/2 medium apple into bite-sized pieces. Add to the oatmeal or serve alongside.
  6. Serve immediately with 1 tablespoon heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk) and your preferred coffee for additional fat blocks.
