Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1 cup Old-fashioned oats Steel-cut oats can also be used with a longer cooking time.
  • 2 cups Water Essential for cooking the oats; substituting some with milk adds a creamy texture.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances the flavor.
  • 1 cup Cold milk Dairy-free milk is a great alternative.
  • 2 large Eggs Adds creaminess and boosts protein content.
For the Mixed Berry Compote
  • 2 cups Frozen mixed berries Fresh berries can be a substitute in season.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Optional but recommended for extra flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup Adjust to your taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine frozen mixed berries with honey or maple syrup and a splash of vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low for about 5–7 minutes, stirring gently until the mixture thickens and becomes jammy.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring water and a pinch of salt to a boil, then add the old-fashioned oats. Reduce the heat to low and allow the oats to simmer for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. While the oats are cooking, crack your large eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them until well combined. Stir in cold milk into the oats, then gradually add the whisked eggs, stirring continuously.
  4. Spoon the custard oats into bowls and drizzle the mixed berry compote over the top, adding any additional toppings you desire.

Notes

Feel free to customize with nuts, seeds, or yogurt. The mixed berry compote can be made in advance and stored for ease.
