Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water

- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup blueberries

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the rolled oats and salt to the boiling water. Stir well.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats begin to thicken.
Stir in the low-fat milk and vanilla extract. Continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired level of creaminess.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken further.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each serving with the mixed berries: distribute the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries evenly.
Drizzle honey over the top, if using, and sprinkle with cinnamon for added flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat creamy oatmeal with mixed berries.
