Sugar Free Milk Steamed Egg
Silky sugar-free milk steamed egg recipe for weight loss. Smooth low-calorie custard with natural sweetness, ready in 15 minutes with simple ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 250 ml pure milk
- 2 almonds
- ½ ripe banana
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly in a clean bowl until completely uniform, with no visible streaks of egg white when lifted with chopsticks. Even, consistent whisking is the first step to a lump-free, silky smooth custard.
- Pour milk into the egg mixture gradually, whisking continuously as you pour. This slow, steady mixing prevents the egg from clumping and ensures a perfectly smooth, even texture throughout.
- Remove all air bubbles from the surface with a spoon, or strain the entire mixture through a fine-mesh sieve for a restaurant-level smooth finish. Any leftover bubbles will turn into unsightly honeycomb holes in the final steamed egg.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, then poke dozens of small holes across the wrap with a needle. The holes let excess steam escape while preventing condensation droplets from dripping onto the custard and ruining its flawless top surface.
- Bring a pot of water to a full rolling boil. Place the covered bowl in the steamer basket, then steam over high heat for exactly 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the egg rest, covered, for 2 extra minutes before removing — this gradual cool-down prevents the custard from collapsing or developing cracks.
- Top the warm steamed egg with sliced banana and chopped almonds right before serving. The natural sweetness from ripe banana delivers all the flavor you need without any added sugar.
Notes
- Zero-sugar weight loss rule: Skip all added sugar entirely. Ripe banana provides gentle, natural sweetness that won’t spike blood sugar. If you prefer extra sweetness, wait until the egg cools to below 60°C before adding a tiny drizzle of honey to preserve its nutritional benefits.
- Silky texture guarantee: Straining the egg-milk mixture is the pro hack for a perfectly smooth, hole-free custard every time. It takes 10 extra seconds and makes a massive difference in the final result.
- Storage: This dish tastes best fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy chilled, or reheat gently using a water bath to avoid curdling.
- Plant-based swap: Replace dairy milk with unsweetened oat milk and swap 1 egg for ¼ cup silken tofu for a vegan version with the same creamy texture.
