Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat bran
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup fresh or dried fruit (e.g., berries, bananas, raisins)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the oat bran, milk, water, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oat bran thickens to your desired consistency.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Divide the oat bran into serving bowls and top with fresh or dried fruit and chopped nuts or seeds of your choice.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Oat Bran Wonder!
