Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds or walnuts (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons extra fresh blueberries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir to mix well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the oats from sticking, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, gently folding the blueberries into the oatmeal.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute to fully absorb the flavors.
Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls and top with chopped almonds or walnuts (if desired) and extra fresh blueberries for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal warm as a nourishing, tangy-sweet breakfast!
