Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 2 cups Milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- as desired Fresh fruit or nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the oat bran, milk, and water. Stir well to prevent clumping.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to avoid sticking or burning.
Once the mixture starts to thicken (usually after 4-5 minutes), reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 3-5 minutes until the oat bran reaches a creamy consistency.
Stir in the honey or maple syrup, salt, and vanilla extract, adjusting sweetness to taste.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.
Divide the Cream of Oat Bran into serving bowls.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top, if desired, and add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds, for additional flavor and texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting, hearty breakfast!
