Mixed Berry Compote
- In a small saucepan over medium low heat, cook the frozen berries with maple syrup and a splash of vanilla until they’re cooked down and jammy.
- You may mash the berries with a potato masher or fork to help them cook down more quickly.
Custard Oats
- In a separate medium saucepan combine the large flake oats, water, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the water has been absorbed and the oats are tender and thickened, remove from heat.
- Whisk the egg(s) in a separate bowl.
- Pour cold milk into the oats and stir for 60 seconds until it's absorbed and cools down.
- Slowly stream the egg(s) into the oats while whisking continuously.
- Turn the heat back on medium/low and cook for 60–90 seconds.
- Serve the oatmeal topped with mixed berry compote.
Notes
For a creamier texture, you can substitute part of the water with milk or add a splash of cream at the end. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
