Scrambled oats are a high-protein, quick-cook breakfast where rolled oats are combined with eggs and gently scrambled into soft, fluffy curds. Served sweet or savory, they’re a creative twist on traditional oatmeal.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional, for sweet version)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp butter or oil (for cooking)
  • Optional sweeteners: 1 tsp maple syrup, honey, or stevia (for sweet version)
  • Optional sweet toppings: fresh fruit, nut butter, yogurt, chopped nuts, chocolate chips
  • Optional savory toppings: cheese, avocado, herbs, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oats, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 1–2 minutes.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour in the oat-egg mixture and stir continuously as it cooks, similar to scrambled eggs.
  4. Cook until the mixture thickens and forms soft, fluffy curds—about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats will become too soft.
  • Make it sweet with cinnamon, sweetener, and fruit, or savory with cheese and herbs.
  • Add a spoonful of nut butter or protein powder for an extra nutritional boost.
  • Dairy-free? Use almond milk, oat milk, or other non-dairy alternatives.
  • Best served fresh, but can be reheated with a splash of milk.
