  • Cook the Oats:
    • Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the oats, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
    • Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats absorb most of the water and reach a creamy consistency.
  • Add Flavor:
    • Stir in the chopped scallions and chili powder. Continue cooking until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the mixture thickens.
  • Incorporate the Egg Whites:
    • Add the egg whites, stirring constantly to prevent them from scrambling. Cook until the egg whites are opaque and fully incorporated into the oatmeal.
  • Finish and Serve:
    • Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Season with salt to taste, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
