Creme Brulee Steel Cut Oats Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup gluten-free steel cut oats (Bob’s Red Mill “gluten free”)
• 1-1/2 cups milk or dairy-free substitute
• 3 large egg yolks, at room temperature (or 3 Tbsp. full-fat coconut milk)
• 2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute equivalent
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter (or dairy-free margarine: Smart Balance) optional

Instructions:

1. Heat the milk in a medium size sauce pan on medium heat. Do not boil.
2. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until sugar dissolves and the yolk is the color of a lemon.
3. Add half of the warmed milk to the egg yolk mixture slowly while mixing. If you add it all at once you may end up with scrambled eggs. If making egg-free, add coconut milk and sugar to the saucepan too.
4. Add the yolk mixture back to the sauce pan, add oats, and stir. Cover, allow to cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Omit this step if making the egg-free version.
5. Serve in bowls, add sliced bananas and nuts, if using; top with brown sugar and melted butter, or torch the brown sugar alone until melted.
