Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.75 cup Blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the oat bran, milk, water, and salt. Stir well to ensure the oat bran doesn’t clump.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Cook the oat bran for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup.
Gently fold in the blueberries, allowing them to heat through for 1-2 minutes. This will slightly soften the blueberries without breaking them entirely.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture rest for a minute. If the oat bran thickens too much, add a splash of milk or water to loosen it to your preferred consistency.
Divide the oat bran mixture into two serving bowls.
Top with additional fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
