Instructions
- Combine oats, water and pinch of salt in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for approximately 45 seconds, until water is absorbed and oats slightly softened.

Notes
Feel free to use either fresh egg whites (save the yolks to add to scrambled eggs or for baking needs), or boxed egg whites. Both work just as well in this recipe.
The first time you make this dish, you definitely need to keep an eye on cooking time, Like I said, you don't want the egg whites to get too firm, but you also want them to cook through. Just cook in small increments, stir and cook some more, until you reach the perfect texture.
To make on the stovetop, simply add your oatmeal, water and pinch of salt to the pan, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat. Stir in the egg whites, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often to keep the whites from scrambling.
