Custard Oats
Custard oats is a delicious, creamy high-protein porridge recipe. This simple breakfast takes just 10 minutes to make, and combines the benefits of healthy oatmeal with an egg!
Equipment
- saucepan
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- 45 g oats
- 240 ml milk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Add the oats and ¾ of the milk to a pan.
- Place on a low heat and bring up to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- After 3-4 minutes the porridge will start to thicken. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Whisk the egg with the remaining cold milk using a fork.
- Add the egg mixture to the porridge and mix well. Place back on a low heat, and bring up to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat once thickened and cooked.
Notes
- Top with nuts, seeds or yogurt for extra protein, and add a handful of berries
- For an extra custardy flavour, add a quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Don't be tempted to mix the egg directly into the hot porridge without blending it with the cold milk first. You'll end up with lumps of scrambled egg rather than a delicious smooth and creamy custardy porridge!
