With autumn approaching, the days call for cosy, nutritious meals to start the morning off right.
This recipe is an excellent option for breakfast or even a snack, especially in October, when the temperature drops and we look for something comforting and tasty.
Made with milk or plant-based milk flavoured with cinnamon, lemon and vanilla, and enriched with oats or rice flour, this creamy bowl is light, filling and has such a familiar flavour: CUSTARD.
The smooth texture is complemented by eggs or egg whites, ensuring an extra dose of protein.
Finished with ground cinnamon and, if needed, a touch of honey or agave, this recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a nutritious and comforting alternative for autumn mornings.

Here is the step-by-step guide to preparing this delight!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 beaten egg
  • 200 ml of oat milk or milk
  • 30g of oat or rice flour
  • Agave, rice jelly or honey (for sweetening)
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Lemon peel
  • Ground cinnamon to taste
 

PREPARATION

  1. Start by flavouring the milk or plant-based milk: in a small saucepan, add the plant-based milk or milk, cinnamon stick, lemon peel and vanilla. Ideally, leave the milk with the flavours in the fridge overnight.
  2. Bring to a low heat and leave to infuse for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the cinnamon stick, vanilla pod and lemon peel.
  4. Add the oat or rice flour and stir well until creamy.
  5. Turn off the heat and add the egg whites or eggs and stir well for 2 minutes to cook the egg.
  6. Remove from the pan and serve in a bowl.
  7. Decorate with ground cinnamon.
Note: if you think it needs to be sweeter, add a little agave or honey. If you don't like cinnamon, add crushed peanuts as a topping
