Berry Bliss Fluffy Oats

SO. It was requested that I provide the recipe for these lovely oats that I posted on my Instagram page.  These Fluffy Oats are AMAZE and I use them as the base for all of my oatmeal recipes. You can mix and match your mix ins and create your own delicious work of art! If you do make these oats, post them to instagram and use the hastage #royalbrunch

Lovlies, the wait is over! Here I give to you, the recipe for my Berry Bliss Fluffy Oats.




Berry Bliss Fluffy Oats:
Adapted from Selena over at her blog Nom Nom Crunch who wrote about these oats here.

Ingredients:

Fluffy Oats:
¼ C. rolled oats
¼ C. milk of choice
¼ C. water
1 egg white (1 egg white = 2 T. if you’re using it from a carton)

Directions:
Whisk the egg until it gets a little fluffy/foamy. Combine with oats, water, and almond milk in a saucepan and bring heat to medium. Whisk the mixture until it starts to simmer. Raise the heat to high and continue whisking for a couple of minutes until it starts to thicken. Reduce heat back to medium and whisk until most of the liquid is soaked. Transfer to a bowl and enjoy with toppings!

Note: Be sure to whisk the egg before combining with other ingredients!


Berry Bliss:
When you are combining the oats, water and almond milk together:

+ 2 tsp of vanilla extract

+ 2 tsp of stevia


Top it off with a berry reduction:

Put a handful of mixed berries into a food processor or blender. (I used raspberries and strawberries.) Then pour into a sauce pan, add 1 tsp of stevia and bring your stove to high heat, slowly stirring the mixture consistently. When the sauce begins to bubble and the color darkens, reduce to medium heat and continue to stir to prevent burning. After about 2-3 minutes, it’s ready to pour onto your oats. The sauce will be the consistency of olive oil.



Note: Where the recipe calls for a handful of berries I used frozen and thinned slightly with water. This results in a thinner more syrupy consistency rather than a compote like reduction, but the flavor remains and it is just as delicious either way!
