The weather has been pretty miserable here in the UK over the past couple of weeks and nothing screams cozy like a warm bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. This is my ultimate cooked oatmeal breakfast and yes, there are egg whites in the recipe. Eggs, you may ask?! I assure you this is not a typo - I add two egg whites at the end of the cooking process and this gives the oatmeal a fluffy, velvety texture leaving you feeling satisfied and ready to start your day!
Total Time to Make
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 1
Equipment Needed <see photo below>
Measuring Spoons
Small sauce bowl
Ingredients <see photo below>
1/3 cup dried oats
1/3 cup = 2 eggs whites
Fruit - as desired, here I used fresh blueberries and raspberries which you can also easily substitute with frozen berries or banana and peanut butter - options are endless!
Nuts - as desired, here I used pistachio, however you could easily use walnuts or any other nut or peanut butter
Maple Syrup - 1 tablespoon
Ground Flaxseed (not pictured) - 1 tablespoon
Let's start cooking!
Step 1: Add one cup of water to sauce pan and bring to boil
Step 2: Add 1/3 cup dried oats, reduce heat to a low simmer (otherwise foam will rise)
Step 3: Let oats cook, stirring occasionally until water has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes
~If using frozen fruit, you will add it here, before the egg whites. The fruit will expel water so let that reduce/evaporate before adding egg whites~
Step 4: Add 1/3 cup of egg whites, stir continuously until incorporated and once brought to a boil turn heat off (bubbles will form once you stop stirring)
Step 5: Plate and add your fresh fruit, nuts and maple syrup
Wishing you a lovely morning :)
xx,
Viktoria
