Description
These delicious oats combine sweet and savory with hints of maple syrup and crumbles of bacon. The oatmeal itself is made extra creamy through the addition of eggs and applesauce. The oats are healthy and quick to prepare, and perfect for a fall morning!
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bacon
- 2 cups 1% Milk
- 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Dry Old-Fashioned Oats
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 package (4 Oz. Size) No-sugar-added Applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Pure Maple Syrup
Preparation
Cook in the bacon in a pan over the stove to desired crispness.
Add the milk (I used 1%) to a saucepan and bring to a boil on the stove. Add vanilla and oats to the milk. Lower the temperature to medium low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to prevent clumps or burning.
Crack eggs into oatmeal and quickly whisk into the oats to create a custard-like texture. Allow egg to cook for about 1 minute, then stir in the applesauce. Remove from stove to prevent overcooking. Stir maple syrup into oatmeal.
Serve oatmeal in a bowl and top with bacon and any other desired toppings.
