Ingredients
Oatmeal base:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 egg whites
Batter:
- 2 eggs (or leftover egg yolks from making a base)
- 1/4 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 2 tbsp maple syrup, honey or agave
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca starch
Instructions
- In a saucepan add rolled oats, milk and salt. Bring to boil over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring all the time. Add egg whites and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Pour the oatmeal into a lightly greased baking dish, spread evenly, press a bit (not too much) and place in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Transfer the chilled oatmeal onto a cutting board and slice into sticks or squares.
- In a shallow dish make the batter, by beating together eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and cornstarch.
- Place the oatmeal slices into the batter and soak for couple of minutes on both sides.
- Fry these French oat slices over medium low heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until nicely golden brown.
- Serve with cottage cheese, fresh berries and some peanut butter.
