Creamy Custard Oatmeal Bowl (Print)
Cozy oats blend with creamy custard and vanilla for a nourishing, gently sweetened start to your morning.
# Ingredients:
→ Oatmeal Base
01 -
50 g quick-cooking rolled oats
02 -
120 ml water
03 -
pinch fine salt
→ Custard Enrichment
04 -
1 large egg, whisked
05 -
80 ml cold water
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Place quick-cooking oats, 120 ml water, and a pinch of salt into a medium pot. Set over medium-high heat and begin stirring continuously.
02 -
Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, and most water is absorbed, about 4 minutes.
03 -
Reduce heat to low. Pour in 80 ml very cold water and whisked egg. Immediately and vigorously whisk to blend into the oatmeal until it thickens with a custard-like texture, about 1 minute.
04 -
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract, if using.
05 -
Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Garnish with fruit, seeds, or desired toppings. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Adding cold water before the egg prevents curdling by lowering the temperature of the oats.
02 -
For traditional rolled oats, increase water to ensure proper consistency as they require a longer cooking time.
