Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds, 1 tablespoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the oats are creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
