Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts), optional
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, low-fat milk, water, and salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.
Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each serving with half a cup of low-fat plain Greek yogurt, distributing it evenly over the oatmeal.
Sprinkle fresh berries over the yogurt for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.
If desired, garnish with chopped nuts for added texture and crunch.
Serve the creamy yogurt oatmeal immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast. Adjust sweetness to taste if necessary.
