Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the oatmeal and warm milk. Cook over low heat until the oatmeal softens and absorbs the milk.

Step 3: Mix Eggs & Vanilla
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with vanilla extract. Slowly add the egg mixture to the oatmeal mixture, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.

Fold in the chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch and added healthy fats.
