Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1.5 cups milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
Toppings (optional)
  • Fresh berries
  • Sliced bananas
  • Chopped nuts

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, and vanilla extract.
  3. Once the oats have absorbed most of the milk (about 5-7 minutes), reduce the heat to low.
  4. Gradually whisk in the egg mixture, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the egg.
  5. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the oatmeal thickens and becomes creamy.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  7. Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, and chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

For vegan options, replace the egg with a cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with cold milk). Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness, and pair with pastries like apple cheesecake buns for a decadent weekend treat.
