Description
A warm and filling breakfast that’s quick to prepare and easy to customize. Creamy scrambled oats mimic a breakfast scramble texture, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 0.5 cup rolled oats (Best texture; quick oats can be used but will turn softer faster.)
- 1 whole egg (Makes the oats creamy and clumps them into scramble-like curds.)
- 1/3 cup milk (Can be dairy or non-dairy.)
- pinch salt (Enhances flavor.)
Optional Flavorings
- 1 tsp cinnamon (For sweet versions.)
- 1 tsp vanilla (For sweet versions.)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, stir together the egg, milk, and a pinch of salt.
- In a nonstick skillet, add the rolled oats and pour in the egg and milk mix. Optionally, add cinnamon or vanilla.
Cooking
- Turn the heat to medium or medium-low and stir slowly and steadily as it warms.
- After a couple of minutes, it will start to thicken. Keep stirring and gently scrape the bottom to ensure even cooking.
- When the mixture resembles soft curds and the oats are tender, turn off the heat. It will continue to thicken as it sits.
Notes
Add toppings like Greek yogurt, berries, or nut butter for variation. For savory options, consider mixing in cheese or greens. These oats can be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats.
