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.
