Ingredients

0.5 cups rolled oats I used quick cooking
0.5 cups water
⅓ cups cold water
1 pinch salt
1 whole egg whisked
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract optional

Instructions

In a pot on the stove on medium-high heat add the water and the rolled oats — equal parts of each.
Stir the whole time until it’s nice and thick and creamy and the water has evaporated.
Reduce the heat to low and add ⅓ cup very cold water + 1 whisked egg. Whisk vigorously until a thick custard-like consistency.
Stir in vanilla bean, vanilla bean paste, or pure vanilla extract off the heat.
Pour into a bowl and top it off with any fruits, seeds, or toppings you love. Enjoy.

Notes

If you're not using quick cooking rolled oats, you will need to add more water as larger oats take longer to break down and absorb more water. We add cold water so that we can bring down the temperature and avoid scrambling the egg.
