The Most Delicious Oatmeal You Will Ever Taste

How to Make Oatmeal with Egg Whites

Not everyone likes oatmeal. In fact, oatmeal seems to be the type of food that people either love or hate. I personally love oatmeal. Not only is oatmeal delicious, but the nutritional value oatmeal contains should far surpass any ill feeling towards the gooey breakfast dish. Oatmeal is a super grain that contains fiber, protein, and antioxidants, which help protect against heart disease, lower cholesterol, and enhance immune response. As long as you don’t add too much sugar to it (which I usually do), it is a very alkalizing food.

I know the cliché, “if foods are good for you, they always taste bad,” but I truly believe that the people who hate oatmeal have just never had it prepared correctly. Most of the time, if you order oatmeal from a restaurant, they prepare it with water (and too much at that), which makes it taste like a flavorless tacky mess. But it doesn’t have to be like that! If you make it with milk and throw in an egg white at the end, it comes out so creamy and delicious it almost tastes like grits. Trust me. You’ll be in oatmeal heaven and begin to wonder why you ever hated it in the first place.  

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of Milk (use soymilk or almond milk for a healthier option)
• 1 cup of Oatmeal (quick oats taste best)
• Maple Syrup
• 1-6 TBS of brown sugar
• 1 egg white

Utensils:

• Spoon

Instructions

Step 1: Get a small pot out and place on the stove.

Step 2: Place the milk in the pot.

Step 3: Turn the stove on to high heat and wait until the milk boils gently.

Step 4: Lower the heat to just above a simmer and place the oatmeal in the pot.

Step 5: Add a squeeze or two of syrup and 1-6 TBS of brown sugar (depending on your sweet tooth).

Step 6: Stir until everything is well mixed.

Step 7: Let the oatmeal simmer until most of the milk is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

Step 8: Move the pot to a burner that is not on and let the oatmeal cool down for a minute.

Step 9: Add the egg yolk and briskly stir with a whisk.

Step 10: Put the pot back on the hot burner and continue to stir for about 30 seconds.

Step 11: Add in whatever fresh fruit you like!

Once you’re done, place the oatmeal in a bowl and enjoy the creamy texture of this deliciously healthful food!
