Prep 10 min · Cook 5 min

In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, salt, 2/3 cup of the milk, and half the cinnamon. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
While the oats cook, whisk the egg whites with the remaining 3 1/2 tbsp of milk in a small bowl until well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly pour about a third of the egg white mixture into the hot oats, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Return the saucepan to medium-low heat. Gradually stream in the remaining egg white mixture while whisking or stirring vigorously. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the oatmeal is thick and creamy, no clear liquid remains, and it is steaming hot. Done when steaming and thickened, 160°F.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the remaining cinnamon. Transfer to a bowl and top with the fresh blueberries and chopped almonds.
