Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 cup fresh mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
While the oatmeal is cooking, whisk the egg in a small bowl until fully beaten. Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.
Once the oatmeal has started to thicken (about 5 minutes), reduce the heat to low. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the oatmeal while stirring constantly to prevent the egg from curdling.
Continue to cook the oatmeal for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency. The oatmeal should be rich and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and divide the oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each bowl with fresh mixed berries, a drizzle of the remaining maple syrup, and a small pat of butter or coconut oil if desired. Sprinkle with chopped nuts for extra crunch.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Berry French Toast Oatmeal!
