In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the oats, milk, water, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low. Simmer with the lid slightly ajar, stirring once or twice to prevent sticking, until the oats are tender, about 20 minutes.
While the oats simmer, whisk the egg whites and vanilla together in a small bowl. Once the oats are tender, remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisking the eggs constantly, stir in 2 or 3 spoonfuls of the hot oat mixture to warm them.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan in a steady stream, whisking hard. Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, creamy, and coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Done when egg is set and no longer runny, 160°F.
Transfer the cooked oats to a bowl and top with the fresh blueberries.
