Oatmeal Custard

Oatmeal Custard 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of old-fashion oats

• 3 cups of milk 

  • Any preferred milk, I use whole milk for extra protein and creamier texture

• 1 cup of plain greek yogurt

  • You can use regular plain yogurt as well - I use greek for the extra protein and creamier texture

  • You can use a vanilla or maple yogurt and reduce the added maple syrup 

• 1/3 cup maple syrup (or brown sugar)

• 5 eggs

• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract 

Directions:

• Pre-heat your oven to 350F and grease a baking dish (9x13)

• Blend all of the ingredients together in a high speed blended or food processor on high for at least 60 seconds

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. The batter will be very thin like milk and may even separate into two layers  

• Bake for 30 mins on the middle rack and then 3-5 mins on the bottom rack

• The result is a soft, smooth, custard breakfast

• Top with any of your favorite oatmeal toppings like berries, cream, syrup, and enjoy! 

• Notes: 

  • The custard may seem undercooked but that is just the custard texture

  • If you want to ½ the recipe - use a smaller baking dish, use 3 eggs and cut the baking time to 20 mins. 

  • This reheats really well so it also works as a great meal-prep item! After it cools completely, pre-cut into squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
