Oat milk scrambled egg recipe
Adding oat milk to your scrambled eggs in place of cream or cows’ milk won’t be too different. Simply substitute the cows’ milk with the alternative, and use a little bit less (as the taste can be overpowering in larger quantities and can steal the show).
Ingredients
- between three to four eggs.
- oat milk (of course!)
- salt and pepper
- (optional) chives or other herbs
Steps
In a bowl, whisk together your eggs.
Pour them into a non-heated non-stick pan, then turn to medium heat and add the butter or oil.
As the pan heats up, continue to stir your egg mixture by gently folding the eggs or pulling them away from the bottom of the pan.
- As solids begin to appear, pour in your desired amount of oat milk (usually a small amount), and stir in. If you’ve got any herbs, here’s your chance to add them in!
Cook the eggs until they are set but still slightly runny. If they look dry, feel free to add more oat milk before finishing.
Scrambled eggs continue to cook for a short while after turning the heat off, so take them off just before you think they’re fully cooked through.Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy and delicious oat milk scrambled eggs.
Ta-da! You’ve got oat milk scrambled eggs, one of the best recipes to use up eggs.
