Up the Protein in Your Oatmeal With These Incredibly Filling Ingredients

Chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) give hummus its standout nutritional benefits, and they can do the same for your morning oatmeal. Adding 1/4 cup of chickpeas will give your oatmeal 10 more grams of protein and six more grams of fiber, per the USDA.

To add chickpeas to your oatmeal, just mash 1/4 cup of the beans into your bowl. Then add the oats, liquid, sweetener, and toppings of your choice, heat it up, and boom — your oatmeal has way more protein and fiber. The smashed chickpeas add a creaminess that blends right into the oatmeal, so you won't notice them one bit (promise!).
