Dukan Oat Bran Custard

This Dukan oat bran custard is Dukan Diet approved and makes for an easy, delicious, healthy breakfast!

I'm always on the hunt for simple, quick breakfast ideas and this oat bran custard fits the bill. On the Dukan lifestyle, it's really hard to branch out beyond eggs, especially in the Dukan attack phase, and so most mornings, I end up with hardboiled eggs...which are fine, but certainly not an exciting breakfast in my book. Since I wanted to make a recipe that I could Dukanify, I changed it up and used the 'Dukan-approved' oat bran. 

This recipe calls for eggs to be mixed into the oats while it's heating on the stove. Once I got past my fear of scrambling the eggs, I got really excited to see how this would come together for a decadent custard. To my surprise, this recipe was actually enjoyed best when cold. I refrigerated my custard right after it was cooked because I had to run out for the day and chose to sample {and photograph!} it later. For once, I'm so, so happy that my schedule is insanely busy because that's how I found out how awesome this oat bran custard is when cold! I topped it with sugar-free syrup and a healthy dusting of cinnamon and dug right in. It was soo good, certainly breakfast-appropriate but could also pass for dessert in a pinch. Even Shaun "Mr. No-Sweets" loved it.

Since Dukan makes it pretty clear that one can only have 2 Tbsp of oat bran per day, I made a pretty small batch of this stuff. I haven't figured out the exact measurements of what 2Tbsp of oat bran would be equivalent to in the custard in terms of daily intake, but I will keep you posted once I do.
