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.
