This Best Custard Oatmeal recipe combines creamy rolled oats cooked on the stovetop with a luscious custard made from whisked eggs and vanilla. The dish is rich and comforting with a smooth texture, perfect for a nourishing breakfast topped with your favorite fruits and seeds.

Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • ½ cup rolled oats (quick cooking recommended)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 pinch salt

Custard

  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook oats: In a pot on medium-high heat, combine ½ cup rolled oats and ½ cup water. Stir constantly until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and the water has mostly evaporated. Adjust water amounts if using regular rolled oats as they require more water and longer cooking time.
  2. Add custard mixture: Reduce heat to low. Add 1/3 cup very cold water and the whisked egg to the pot. Whisk vigorously to combine, creating a thick custard-like consistency. The cold water helps lower the temperature to prevent the egg from scrambling.
  3. Add flavor: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract if using. This adds a subtle sweet aroma and enhances flavor.
  4. Serve: Pour the custard oatmeal into a bowl and add your favorite toppings such as fruits, seeds, or nuts. Enjoy warm for a comforting breakfast.

Notes

  • For non-quick cooking rolled oats, add more water and extend cooking time to ensure oats soften fully.
  • Whisk the egg and cold water mixture well to ensure smooth custard without lumps.
  • Do not add the egg mixture while the pot is too hot to avoid scrambling.
  • Customize the dish with a variety of fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds for added texture and nutrition.
