Custard Oatmeal
Creme-like oatmeal that transforms your morning into a comforting ritual with nourishing ingredients and endless topping possibilities.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats The backbone of the dish, giving that warm, hearty base.
- 2 cups Milk or plant-based milk Use almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- 2 large Eggs Adds richness and protein. Can substitute with flax eggs for a vegan version.
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup Natural sweetness. Honey or agave syrup works as a substitute.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Provides warmth and depth.
- 1 pinch Salt Enhances all flavors.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and milk over medium heat. Stir until combined.
- Pour in maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Stir gently, letting it come to a gentle simmer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla extract until frothy. Slowly pour this mixture into the cooking oats, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling.
- Continue stirring as the mixture thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes. If it feels too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Once creamy, pour into bowls and top with fresh fruits, nuts, or additional maple syrup.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently adding a splash of milk for creaminess.
