Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (whole or your choice of dairy/non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (such as maple syrup, honey, or sugar)
- Pinch of salt
- Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the oats and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sweetener until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Stir Gently: Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the cooked oats, stirring continuously and gently to prevent curdling. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency, ensuring it doesn’t boil.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve the custard oatmeal immediately for a creamy, rich breakfast.
Notes
- Use low or non-fat milk for a lighter version.
- You can substitute rolled oats with steel-cut oats, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- Add cinnamon, vanilla extract, or fresh fruit for extra flavor.
- Be sure to stir continuously when adding eggs to avoid scrambling.
- This recipe can be reheated gently; add a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
