1 piece (medium) of Oat Egg (120 g) has 168 calories. That works out to 140 calories per 100 g. It contains 13.2 g of carbs, 10.2 g of protein, 7.8 g of fat and 2.6 g of fiber. Its 15.6 µg of Biotin covers 52% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Oat Egg is a simple cooked mixture of oats and egg, with a thick, porridge-like consistency. It is better understood as a practical breakfast recipe than as a dish tied to one particular region. The oats soften as they cook, while the egg gives the mixture a creamy, gently set texture and mild savoury flavour. It is often served warm; add herbs or vegetables for a savoury bowl, or pair it with fruit if you prefer a sweeter breakfast. Its combination of protein and fibre makes it a filling option for the morning. For a lighter serving, use little added fat and round it out with vegetables or fresh fruit.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Make Oat Egg by stirring oats into beaten egg with a little water or milk, then cooking the mixture over low to medium heat. Stir continuously until it thickens and the egg is fully cooked; season or top it to taste.
Yes, you can stir a beaten egg directly into hot oats to make Oat Egg. Add it gradually while stirring so it blends smoothly, then keep cooking until no runny egg remains. Adding a whole egg without stirring can leave uneven, rubbery bits.
No, Oat Egg usually does not taste strongly of egg when the egg is mixed evenly with the oats. The flavor is mild, especially with savory seasonings or fruit and cinnamon; adding cheese or herbs makes the savory version more pronounced.
Oat Egg can be either sweet or savory. For a savory bowl, use pepper, herbs, or cheese; for a sweet one, add cinnamon and fruit after cooking. Avoid adding sweet and savory toppings together unless you want that contrast.
Yes, both rolled oats and quick oats work for Oat Egg. Rolled oats keep more texture and take longer to soften, while quick oats make a smoother, faster-cooking bowl. Adjust the liquid as needed so the egg-oat mixture does not become dry.
Oat Egg turns lumpy when the egg cooks too quickly before it is dispersed through the oats. Beat the egg first, temper it with a spoonful of warm oats, then stir it back into the pan over low heat.
Yes, Oat Egg does not need a blender. Whisk the egg in a bowl and stir it into the oats by hand; this gives a more textured result. Blending is only useful if you specifically want a very smooth mixture.
Fruit and cinnamon pair well with sweet Oat Egg, while herbs, pepper, cheese, or cooked vegetables suit a savory bowl. Add toppings after cooking so fresh fruit stays distinct and herbs do not lose their flavor in prolonged heat.
Yes, cooked Oat Egg can be prepared ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator. Reheat it with a splash of water or milk and stir until hot throughout. Refrigerate leftovers promptly rather than leaving the egg-based dish at room temperature.
Oat Egg can be a filling breakfast because oats provide fiber and eggs provide protein, which may help curb hunger between meals. It does not cause weight loss by itself; serving size and the rest of your eating pattern also matter.
