Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 pinch salt
1 cup milk or water
1/4 cup egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Oats: In a small pot, combine the rolled oats, salt, and milk or water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Cook the Oats: Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer, stirring occasionally, until they become creamy and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Add Egg Whites: Slowly pour in the egg whites while continuously stirring to avoid curdling and ensure a smooth texture. Continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked and incorporated.
Season and Sweeten: Stir in the cinnamon and honey if using, blending them thoroughly into the oatmeal for added flavor and sweetness.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm immediately.
Notes
Use pasteurized egg whites for safety and convenience.
Adjust the amount of milk or water to achieve your preferred oatmeal consistency.
Cinnamon and honey are optional but add warmth and sweetness naturally.
For a dairy-free version, use water or plant-based milk.
Stir continuously when adding egg whites to create a fluffy texture without scrambling them.
