Description
Creamy Custard Oatmeal is a delightful breakfast recipe that combines rolled oats with a custard-like mixture of eggs, milk, and spices for a rich and creamy texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or almond milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the mixture thickens.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the egg mixture to the cooked oatmeal, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over low heat, stirring continuously, until the oatmeal reaches a creamy custard-like consistency.
- If using, stir in the raisins and chopped nuts, and cook for another minute.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use half-and-half instead of milk.
- You can also top the oatmeal with fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries for added flavor and nutrition.
