Egg Oats Berry Topping (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Creamy Oatmeal Base
01 -
½ cup jumbo rolled oats
02 -
1 cup water
03 -
¼ tsp salt
04 -
2 tbsp chilled milk
05 -
1-2 big eggs, beaten
→ Berry Topping
06 -
1 cup mixed frozen berries
07 -
¼ tsp vanilla flavor
08 -
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss frozen berries into a small pot with syrup and vanilla over gentle heat. Cook until they turn soft and jam-like. Smash them with a fork or masher to speed things up.
02 -
Put jumbo oats, water, and salt in another pot. Let it bubble on high heat, then turn down to medium-low. Cook for 5–8 minutes, stirring now and then to break down oats until they're thick and the water's gone.
03 -
Beat your egg(s) in a bowl until they're all mixed up.
04 -
Take oats off the heat. Mix in the cold milk and keep stirring for a minute until it soaks in. This helps cool everything down a bit.
05 -
Pour the beaten egg(s) into the oats in a thin stream while stirring non-stop. Put back on low heat and cook for about a minute until it gets a bit thicker but stays smooth.
06 -
Scoop the creamy oats into bowls and spoon the berry mix on top. Add whatever extra toppings you want.
# Notes:
01 -
Newbies should stick with one egg at first, then try two when you're comfortable with the method for extra protein punch.
02 -
Getting these oats just right means finding that sweet spot where they're creamy but the eggs don't scramble.
