Here’s a hearty and protein-packed way to enjoy oatmeal with eggs and milk — great for breakfast or post-workout fuel. You can make it sweet or savory, depending on your preference.
Creamy Oatmeal with Eggs and Milk (Sweet Version)
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1 cup milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)
-
1 egg
-
1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
-
Pinch of salt

Toppings: fruit, nut butter, nuts, seeds, etc.
Instructions:
-
Whisk the egg in a small bowl until smooth.
-
Combine oats and milk in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
