Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal
This Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal is made with eight wholesome ingredients: heart healthy oats, a beloved pairing of maple syrup and brown sugar, and for a little extra protein and creamy texture, milk and eggs. A quick and easy way to start your day, with cinnamon and vanilla extract, it is flavorful, warming and filling!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- 3 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Combine and cook. In a small pot, add oats, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla extract and stir. Let oatmeal cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare eggs. While the oatmeal is beginning to cook, whisk the eggs vigorously for 30 seconds, in a small bowl.
- Temper eggs. As the oatmeal mixture begins to steam, remove a 1/4 cup of hot milk and add to the eggs, whisking at the same time. Repeat this step once more.
- Add in eggs. While stirring the oatmeal, slowly pour the tempered eggs, into the oatmeal mixture. Continue stirring until the mixture is well combined.
- Finish and enjoy. Stir oatmeal occasionally until the oats have absorbed the milk, creating a creamy texture. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, allowing the oatmeal to thicken.
- Store. In an airtight container, store leftovers in the refrigerator. When ready to enjoy, add a splash or two of milk to thin it out before warming it up.
Notes
- If using rolled oats, increase cook time to 12 minutes.
