Gluten-Free Fried Oatmeal Bites Recipe

Bring water to a boil in a pot; reduce heat to low. Add almond milk and stir in oats. Add sugar stirring vigorously. Stir in salt. Continue to simmer until oats have reached your desired consistency 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 15 to 20 minutes.

Transfer oats to a lidded container cover and chill in a refrigerator 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Whisk egg in a small bowl. Place gluten-free flour in a separate bowl.

Scoop chilled oatmeal into medium-size balls.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Place oatmeal balls into egg wash until completely covered. Place in flour; cover entirely. Use a slotted spoon to remove floured oatmeal balls; shake off excess flour.

Place oatmeal balls into the hot oil and cook until golden brown 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
