Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Add the rolled oats, water, and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the oats begin to soften, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Pour in the milk, and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring often until the oatmeal reaches your desired level of creaminess.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and top with the mixed berries, distributing them evenly.
Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the berries and oatmeal.
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch, if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your nutritious breakfast.
