Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 sliced banana
- 2 tablespoons walnuts
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the ground cinnamon and chia seeds. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to allow the chia seeds to thicken the oatmeal slightly.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with fresh blueberries, sliced banana, and chopped walnuts.
If desired, drizzle each bowl with a small amount of honey for added sweetness (optional).
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
