Stovetop Method

The stovetop method provides a rich, creamy texture like cream of wheat.

Ingredients (1 Serving):

• 1 cup water or a mix of water and milk. If you want to just use milk, or any plant-based milk don’t let it boil, bring it to just under the boil.

• 1/2 cup Schullo Organic Oat Bran

• A pinch of salt is optional

Instructions:

1. Boil: In a small saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over medium-high heat. If using only milk, bring it to just under the boil.

2. Add Oat Bran: Gradually whisk in the oat bran. Stirring constantly is really important so it doesn’t clump.

3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to a low simmer. Continue cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened to the consistency you like.

4. Serve: Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. The mixture will thicken slightly as it cools.

Serving suggestions:

1. While cooking you can add a few shakes of cinnamon and nutmeg, some raisins, cranberries or a dash of vanilla essence.

2. Top with sliced apple, banana, kiwi fruit, chopped nuts, fresh strawberries, or blueberries.

3. Stir in a generous teaspoon of Schullo Peanut Butter or Almond Butter for some extra protein. A teaspoon of chia seeds works well also.

4. You can’t go wrong with a drizzle of Schullo Dark Organic Maple Syrup either.

5. Or you could try adding 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated lemon zest. This is a deliciously simple topping to mix into your Oat Bran.
