Berry French Toast Oatmeal



Berry French Toast Oatmeal is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that is perfect for any day of the week. It is made with a combination of oats, milk, eggs, and your favorite berries. The oats give the dish a hearty and satisfying texture, while the milk and eggs make it fluffy and flavorful. The berries add a touch of sweetness and tartness that perfectly balances out the other flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats

  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 cup fresh berries

  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined.

  2. Fold in the berries.

  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.

  4. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot pan for each serving. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Tips

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of skim milk.

  • If you don't have any fresh berries, you can use frozen berries. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the batter.

  • If you want a sweeter dish, add more maple syrup to taste.

Variations

  • For a more decadent version, add 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the batter.

  • For a more savory version, add 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free oats.

  • For a vegan version, use a flax egg or chia egg in place of the eggs.

Enjoy!

Story

I first had Berry French Toast Oatmeal at a friend's house for breakfast. I was immediately hooked by the combination of the hearty oats, the fluffy eggs, and the sweet berries. I knew I had to recreate the dish at home.

The first time I made it, I followed the recipe exactly. It was delicious, but I felt like it could be improved. I decided to add more berries and more maple syrup. I also used whole milk instead of skim milk. The result was a richer and more flavorful dish that I loved even more than the original.

I've been making Berry French Toast Oatmeal for breakfast ever since. It's a quick and easy dish that's perfect for busy mornings. It's also a great way to start the day with a healthy dose of whole grains, protein, and fiber.

If you're looking for a delicious and healthy breakfast option, I highly recommend giving Berry French Toast Oatmeal a try. You won't be disappointed!
