Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the almond milk.
Add the mixed berries and stir gently. Cook for another 2 minutes until the berries are heated through and have softened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds, allowing them to thicken the oatmeal slightly as it cools for a minute or two.
Divide the creamy oatmeal into serving bowls.
Garnish each bowl with a handful of sliced almonds for added crunch and a touch of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free creamy oatmeal with mixed berries as a hearty breakfast or snack.
