Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup (94g) oat bran
- 2 cups water
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups plant-based milk of your choice
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Topping Suggestions
- 1 small banana sliced
- 1/4 cup walnuts toasted
- 1 to 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- additional milk for serving
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, over medium high heat, add the oat bran and whisk continuously for just under a minute, or until you begin to smell it toasting.
- Add the water and the milk while whisking constantly to keep the oat bran from clumping. The pot will sizzle a bit with the addition of cold liquids.
- Continue whisking as the mixture comes to a full boil. Reduce the heat just a bit to keep things simmering and continue to cook for 3 minutes, whisking frequently, or better yet…constantly.
- Serve in bowls with a splash of additional milk and your choice of toppings. Any remaining oat bran can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Notes
When making this for the first time, use 1 1/2 cups of plant-based milk. Increase, up to 2 cups, to desired consistency.
If you are gluten sensitive, be sure that your oat bran is labeled gluten-free.
