Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings (optional)

  • Fresh fruit
  • Nuts
  • Nut butter

Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs: Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them well using a fork or small whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Set aside.
  2. Heat oats mixture: In a small saucepan, combine the old fashioned oats, milk, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium.
  3. Add flavorings and cook: Stir in the chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into the oatmeal. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, as the oatmeal thickens.
  4. Incorporate whisked eggs: When the oatmeal has thickened significantly and is nearly cooked (around 5 minutes), slowly stir in the whisked eggs. Immediately stir continuously for about 30 seconds to combine and prevent curdling.
  5. Finish cooking: Continue to cook the oatmeal for another minute or so until it reaches your desired thickness.
  6. Serve and add toppings: Transfer the finished oatmeal to a cereal bowl and add your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butter toppings. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: You can meal prep this oatmeal by storing individual portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Reheating: To reheat, add a splash of milk and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until warmed through.
  • Use whole milk for creamier texture; milk alternatives can be used but may alter taste and consistency.
  • Stirring continuously after adding eggs prevents scrambled eggs and ensures a fluffy oatmeal texture.
