Healthy Creamy Custard-Like Oatmeal
"I love oatmeal and I like them creamy without all the carbs of having a higher oat to milk ratio so came up with this funny idea! And I am a lazy person so I don't like having to wash so many things... so microwave and having everything done in 1 bowl is ideal hahaha. I'm not even sure where this idea came from and I am sure slight alterations would be fine but the proportions work fine for me and I like how it tastes so here it is. I hope people enjoy it as much as I do (:
you can also vary it with different flavours like cocoa powder (don't put applesauce then), which I sometimes throw in with instant coffee powder to have a mocha oatmeal. yums. (:
and I divide the milk mainly because I didn't want to splash milk/egg over the sides or onto my clothes when I am whisking them. but if you're doing it with a bigger bowl then you probably don't need to separate them.. you guys can comment and tell me how that works out (:"
