Butterscotch Oatmeal
Description
Butterscotch Oatmeal starts by whisking together milk, egg, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan, then cooking the mixture over medium heat. Quick oats are added and stirred occasionally until the oatmeal thickens and bubbles, developing a creamy consistency without graininess by maintaining a moderate cooking temperature.
Finishing the dish by stirring in butter enhances the flavor and adds smoothness. Letting the oatmeal rest off the heat with a lid allows further thickening, resulting in a hearty textured dish ideal for a satisfying breakfast.
This oatmeal pairs well with additional milk or fresh fruit toppings, adding a fresh contrast to its rich sweetness. The recipe source is noted as coming from a family member, lending it a traditional, home-cooked feel.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup quick oats
- 2 teaspoons butter optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, egg, brown sugar, and salt.
- Turn the heat on to medium, and don't go higher than that the whole time you are cooking otherwise it will turn out grainy.
- Mix in the oats. Stir occasionally. When the oatmeal begins to bubble, cook and stir until thick.
- When it has reached the consistency you like, remove from heat, and stir in butter until melted.
- I usually let it sit off the heat with a lid on for a couple minutes so that it gets nice and thick. Serve with milk and fruit!
Notes
- Maintain medium heat during cooking to avoid grainy texture.
- Allow oatmeal to rest covered off heat to thicken before serving.
- Serve with milk and fresh fruit as desired for a balanced meal.
