Custard Oatmeal Creamy Breakfast

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk or plant-based milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together egg, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Once the oats have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes, lower the heat. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent the egg from scrambling.

Continue cooking over low heat for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring continuously until the oatmeal becomes creamy and thickened.

Remove from heat and divide into bowls. Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, and chopped nuts as desired. Serve immediately.
