Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) water or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Combine 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup (240ml) water (or almond milk), and 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk in your saucepan with a pinch of sea salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium high heat, then immediately drop the heat to low.
  3. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stop when the oats are tender but still have a bit of slosh to the liquid.
  4. While the oats simmer, whisk 1 large egg, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk until no streaks of egg white remain.
  5. Take a small spoonful of the hot liquid from the oat pan and whisk it into your egg mixture. Repeat this twice.
  6. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan while whisking the oats constantly.
  7. Continue to cook on low for another 2-3 minutes. Cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and looks glossy.
  8. Remove from heat and let it sit for 60 seconds.
  9. Pour into a bowl and top with fresh fruit or a splash of cold milk for contrast.
