Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat bran
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1 cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs or 3 egg whites, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (more to taste)
  • Butter for serving
  • Fruit for topping (recommended: raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Simmer the base: In a small saucepan, combine the oat bran, water, milk, and a pinch of salt. Set over medium heat and allow to simmer gently, stirring occasionally. Cook the mixture until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Incorporate the eggs: Reduce the heat to low. Gradually pour in the beaten eggs while stirring continuously to prevent scrambling. Maintain vigorous stirring with a whisk or wooden spoon to evenly incorporate the eggs into the porridge. Continue stirring gently for 1-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and the mixture is creamy.
  3. Finish and serve: Stir in the maple syrup to taste. Adjust the consistency with a little more water or milk if needed. Serve the oat bran warm topped with a pat of butter, fresh raspberries or your favorite fruit, and a drizzle of additional maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your wholesome breakfast!

Notes

  • To prevent eggs from scrambling, ensure the heat is low and stir constantly while adding eggs.
  • Substitute whole milk with any milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk for different dietary needs.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity to your preferred level of sweetness or try honey as an alternative.
  • Adding fresh or dried fruit toppings can enhance both flavor and nutritional value.
