Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Rinse the fresh strawberries and blueberries thoroughly under cold water.
Slice the strawberries into quarters and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are soft and most of the water is absorbed.
Add 0.5 cup of unsweetened almond milk to the cooked oats and stir well to combine.
Mix in 1 tablespoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the oatmeal, stirring until evenly incorporated.
Fold in the chia seeds, strawberries, and blueberries gently to avoid mashing the berries.
Let the oatmeal simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is creamy and heated through.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and let it sit for a minute to thicken before serving.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and top with additional fresh berries, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Low Sodium Berry Delight Oatmeal!
