1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1 egg

  2. Combine the oats and sugar in a medium bowl, then pour in the milk.
  3. Add the vanilla seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking powder.
  4. Next comes the melted butter and the egg.
  5. Then just stir it all together into a big delicious oaty mess of wonder.

Cook’s Note

To scrape the vanilla bean, split the pod lengthwise with a small paring knife and use the back of the knife to scrape out all the vanilla caviar (the seeds). (Tip: Put the empty pod in a container of sugar. It will infuse the sugar and make it a miracle!)

Wonderfully Created

This was delicious! I made it for a Sunday breakfast at church and everyone raved about it. I subbed out a few ingredients but kept the basics for this lovely recipe.
