Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats I used quick cooking
- ½ cup water + an additional 1/3 cup cold water
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract optional
Instructions
- In a pot on the stove on medium-high heat add the water and the rolled oats — equal parts of each.
- Stir the whole time until it’s nice and thick and creamy and the water has evaporated.
- Note: if you're not using quick cooking rolled oats, you will need to add more water as larger oats take longer to break down and absorb more water.
- Reduce the heat to low and add 1/3 cup very cold water + 1 whisked egg. Whisk vigorously until a thick custard-like consistency.
- Note: We add cold water so that we can bring down the temperature and avoid scrambling the egg.
- Stir in vanilla bean, vanilla bean paste, or pure vanilla extract off the heat.
- Pour into a bowl and top it off with any fruits, seeds, or toppings you love. Enjoy
