This oatmeal custard breakfast recipe blends the heartiness of oats with the smooth, creamy richness of vanilla custard. It’s warm, cozy, and packed with nutrients—perfect for a nourishing start to your day.
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 egg (or 1 tbsp cornstarch for egg-free version)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: sliced banana, berries, chopped nuts, chia seeds
In a small pot, bring milk to a light simmer over medium heat.
Stir in oats and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with maple syrup and vanilla.
Slowly stir a few spoonfuls of the hot oat mixture into the egg to temper it.
Add the egg mixture back into the pot and stir over low heat until thickened (about 2–3 minutes).
Season with cinnamon and salt.
Pour into a bowl and top with your favorite fruits or seeds. Enjoy warm.
