Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
- optional fresh fruits (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook the oatmeal for about 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir frequently to ensure it remains creamy.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, divide it evenly between two heatproof ramekins or bowls.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the surface of each bowl of oatmeal.
Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it melts and turns a deep amber color. Hold the torch about 2 inches away and move it in small circles for even caramelization. Allow the sugar crust to set for 1 minute.
If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can broil the oatmeal. Place the ramekins under a preheated broiler (about 6 inches from the heat source) and broil for 1-2 minutes until the sugar is caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Optionally, top the finished oatmeal brulee with fresh fruits such as berries, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of the warm, creamy oatmeal and the crisp, caramelized sugar topping.
