Berry Compote Custard Oats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Creamy Oatmeal Base

01 - 1-2 whisked large eggs
02 - 2 tbsp milk, straight from the fridge
03 - ¼ tsp salt
04 - 1 cup water
05 - ½ cup old-fashioned oats, large flakes

→ Berry Sauce Blend

06 - 1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup, your choice
07 - ¼ tsp of vanilla for flavor
08 - 1 cup of frozen mixed berries

# Instructions:

01 - On medium-low heat, warm frozen berries with vanilla and honey in a small pot until it thickens to a jam-like texture. Mash them down with a fork or masher to make it faster.
02 - In a medium pot, toss in oats, water, and salt. Let it boil quickly on high, then turn the heat to medium-low. Stir every now and then for 5–8 minutes, until it thickens up and the water’s all gone.
03 - Beat the egg(s) in a bowl until smooth and fully mixed.
04 - Take the pot off the heat and stir in the cold milk for about a minute so the oatmeal cools just a little.
05 - While stirring constantly, slowly pour the whisked eggs into the oatmeal. Put it back on medium-low heat and cook for about 1–1½ minutes until it's thicker but still creamy.
06 - Spoon the finished oats into your bowls and layer the berry sauce on top. Add any extras you like.

# Notes:

01 - If you’re new to this, start with just one egg. Once you’ve nailed it, try using two for a protein boost.
02 - To get the perfect creamy oats, avoid overcooking the eggs while keeping the mixture smooth.
