Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, stir in 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the oats, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the oats have absorbed most of the water and are tender.
Stir in 1/2 cup of milk (or unsweetened almond milk), 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Continue cooking and stirring for another 2-3 minutes, until the oatmeal is creamy and the blueberries start to burst.
Taste and add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you desire extra sweetness.
Divide the blueberry oatmeal between two bowls and serve warm.
