Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture begins to simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the almond milk to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the oats, and continue to cook while stirring regularly to prevent sticking, about 5-7 minutes.
Check the oats for desired creaminess and cook longer if necessary to achieve your preferred texture.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and gently fold in the chia seeds, allowing them to sit and thicken the mixture slightly.
Divide the oatmeal evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with a generous serving of mixed berries.
Optional: Sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added crunch.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Low Sodium Creamy Oatmeal with Mixed Berries.
