Ingredient Highlight

Earl Grey Tea: Earl Grey gets its signature flavor from bergamot, a citrus fruit that adds a light, floral brightness. When steeped in milk or water for oats, it creates a subtle, comforting base that feels a little elevated without being overpowering.

Old-Fashioned Oats: A steady source of soluble fiber, oats help slow digestion and support a more gradual glucose response. They also create that creamy, comforting texture that makes this bowl feel complete.

just better.® allulose: Allulose brings a better-for-you sweetness without raising blood sugar or insulin levels. When used alongside carbohydrates, it can help reduce the post-meal glucose response, making it a thoughtful addition to recipes like this.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Serving Size: One ☺️

1. Brew and Infuse

Steep 1 Earl Grey tea bag in 1 cup of hot water or (for more protein) warm milk of your choice for 3–5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and set the infused liquid aside.

2. Cook the Oats

In a small saucepan, bring the brewed Earl Grey liquid to a gentle boil.

Add ½ cup old-fashioned oats and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Stir in two scoops (or two stick packs) of just better.® prebiotic fiber at this point so it blends right in as the oats cook.

3. Simmer

Reduce the heat and let the oats cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and creamy.

4. Prepare the Sweet Cream

While the oats cook, whisk together:

⅓ cup heavy cream or milk of your choice

2 stick packs of just better.® allulose

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Whisk until smooth.

If using heavy cream, the mixture will be lightly thickened. If using milk, expect a thinner, pourable consistency.

5. Assemble and Serve

Spoon the warm oats into a bowl, lightly drizzle with your favorite honey, and pour the sweet cream over the top. Give it a gentle swirl and enjoy while warm.

Flavor Variations & Toppings

Moody London Fog: Add a light sprinkle of culinary lavender for a deeper, floral note that pairs beautifully with bergamot.

Bring the Berries: Top with fresh blueberries or sliced strawberries.

Get Nutty: Add pistachios, walnuts, pecans, or hemp hearts for texture, extra protein, and staying power.
