Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons toasted nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
While the porridge is cooking, reserve a small handful of the fresh blueberries for garnish. Stir the remaining blueberries into the porridge and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed.
Divide the porridge evenly between two bowls. Drizzle each serving with heavy cream, if desired, and top with the reserved blueberries.
Garnish with toasted nuts or seeds for added crunch, if desired.
Serve the porridge warm and enjoy your creamy blueberry breakfast!
