Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any heart-healthy non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon flaxseed meal
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine rolled oats and almond milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the chia seeds and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir to evenly incorporate.
Cook the oats for about 7-10 minutes, or until they reach your desired consistency. If the mixture becomes too thick, stir in a splash of additional almond milk.
Once cooked, remove the oatmeal from heat and stir in the pure maple syrup for natural sweetness.
Divide the oatmeal evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with half the blueberries, sliced banana, chopped walnuts, and pumpkin seeds.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of flaxseed meal over each bowl for an added boost of omega-3s and fiber.
Serve warm and enjoy your Heart-Healthy Wholesome Breakfast Bowl!
