A version of Susan's custard oats, using rice bran instead of oat bran. In my quest for more healthy fats as a part of fatbulous February, I had yet to conquer a WHOLE egg (as opposed to just the whites) and this was the perfect icebreaker.
I just added about 1/4 c. rice bran to 1/2 c. boiling water and whisked in a beaten egg--watch out cuz it cooks very quickly! I poured the hot mixture over 1/4 c. Fage 0% and 1/4 c. pumpkin. Topped with molasses, cinnamon swirl, banana and peanut butter.
Delicious, but not as custardy as I'd hoped--definitely would benefit from the added crunch of a little granola or Fiber One on top, too.
Well have a great week everyone--hopefully I will bring some warm weather and sunshine home with me--and some Trader Joe's goodies! xoxo

Custard oats just seem wild to me- something about busting the stove top pot out when I'm in a rush in the morning just doesn't happen- I love slow cooked oats, but am just an instant girl in the am- good on you for getting them going! Have fun at TJs
ReplyDeleteCustard oats - mm mm love them!

ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great day sweetheart!
PS- OMG Thank you SOOOOO much for my VDay card! It made my entire day! :)
<3 you Emily!
That bowl of oats looks so swirly and delish! Well done with the egg addition, I've heard great things about it but haven't tried it myself!
ReplyDeleteOh yummy oats!! I always add egg whites to my oats but haven't tried the whole egg! Did it taste egg-y?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this simple post. First off, I am scared of whole eggs as well...which is so shitty. Europeans over here do not see one part of the egg as good and the other as bad. They each are ying and yang and compliment each other. Secondly, when you share this struggle, it empowers others. Did you see my post about health obsessions? Would you mind doing a guest post soon?
ReplyDeleteI need to try custard oats :D They sound so good- did you try the custard I sent you?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time in AZ- send some warm weather my way!
Custard oats topped with molasses? You know the way to my heart! I'm lucky that I never got scared of whole eggs - I just love the yolk too much! Someday when you work up the courage, you need to try a soft-fried egg on top of oats. The runny yolk in the hot oats is aaamaaaazing ;)
