OATMEAL CUSTARD
My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. This recipe was posted in a September 1997 edition of the Houston Chronicle. It came from Brennan's Restaurant in Houston, which is currently being restored after being destroyed in a fire during Hurricane Ike. This delightful recipe turns your familiar breakfast oatmeal into a rich and creamy dessert! Raspberries and blackberries are used here but you could probably use strawberries or blueberries too.

BREAKFAST OATMEAL CUSTARD
Low calorie, low fat, filling breakfast custard that you can make-ahead for the week. 60 minutes prep time is because the steel cut oats take so long to cook. I usually place two bars in a bowl, microwave them for about 2 minutes, break them up with a spoon and top with vanilla soy milk, but I'm sure it would be equally good with cream, regular milk or perhaps even yogurt. I especially like it because it provides protein and carb in one bowl.

Put in 8 inch square pan coated with baking spray, put in larger pan of hot water. Cook for 1 hr at 350 or until set
Tips:
- Choose the Right Oats: Use old-fashioned or rolled oats for a hearty texture. Quick oats will result in a softer, less chewy custard.
- Control the Creaminess: Adjust the milk-to-oat ratio to achieve your desired consistency. More milk will yield a creamier custard, while less milk will result in a thicker, more porridge-like texture.
- Enhance the Flavor: Add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to elevate the flavor profile of your custard. You can also stir in vanilla extract, maple syrup, or honey for a touch of sweetness.
- Customize Your Toppings: Elevate your oatmeal custard with a variety of toppings. Consider fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Storage and Reheating: Store leftover oatmeal custard in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through.
