This easy vegan protein oats recipe with stewed blueberries is an absolute staple of mine, especially when I want a big filling breakfast/brunch to keep me full and energized all morning.

Oatmeal is an easy meal to make in concept, but anyone who has had boring, plain oats will know that it’s very easy to get oatmeal wrong.

I love this recipe with stewed blueberries because it’s super quick, simple, a great way to pack in more nutrients, and really elevates the look of your oats. Plus, blueberries.

Vegan protein powder

I also like adding a scoop of vegan protein powder to my oats on morning where I want a big, filling breakfast to keep me going most of the day.

This step is totally optional – but if you do worry that you’re missing out on protein, it’s an easy way to get a little more of this macro into your diet. Another plus is that adding protein powder to oats really bulks them up, so you feel like you’re getting more in your bowl! Win!

A few of my personal favourite vegan protein powders include Bulk Powders banana caramel, MyProtein smooth chocolate soy isolate protein powder, and Vega vanilla protein powder (although this does give the oats a slightly green tinge!).

Stewed blueberries

I love making this recipe with fresh blueberries straight from the fridge and a sprinkle of cinnamon, but frozen blueberries work just as well.

Likewise, if all you have is raspberries or mixed berries, these are also awesome stewed and poured over your oatmeal, so feel free to use whatever you have!

Toppings

In the photo, I topped my vegan protein oats with the stewed blueberries, a sprinkle of granola, some flaxseed, and a drizzle of some homemade toffee sauce I had leftover in the fridge.

I also love topping my oats with nut butter, maybe some coconut yoghurt, more fresh fruit, or even a chocolate or two if you’re feeling indulgent…

This vegan protein oats recipe is really versatile and ready in less than 10 minutes, so get creative and make it yours!
