Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.25 cup fresh blueberries (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Stir together to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add in the 0.5 cup of fresh blueberries and the milk. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the blueberries start to burst and the oatmeal reaches a creamy consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal rest for a minute to thicken slightly.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls, and top each serving with additional fresh blueberries for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free blueberry oatmeal!
