How to Make Oatmeal Cream

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure all oats are coated.
  3. Pour the mixture into an oven-safe ramekin or small baking dish.
  4. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from the broiler and let cool slightly before serving. Optional: Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
