Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 0 optional fresh fruits (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Cook the oatmeal for about 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir frequently to ensure it remains creamy.

Step 4

Once the oatmeal is cooked, divide it evenly between two heatproof ramekins or bowls.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the surface of each bowl of oatmeal.

Step 6

Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it melts and turns a deep amber color. Hold the torch about 2 inches away and move it in small circles for even caramelization. Allow the sugar crust to set for 1 minute.

Step 7

If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can broil the oatmeal. Place the ramekins under a preheated broiler (about 6 inches from the heat source) and broil for 1-2 minutes until the sugar is caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 8

Optionally, top the finished oatmeal brulee with fresh fruits such as berries, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of the warm, creamy oatmeal and the crisp, caramelized sugar topping.
