Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons lemon curd
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over medium heat.
Stir in the rolled oats, reduce the heat to low, and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the water is mostly absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract. Let the oatmeal rest for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls.
Add 1.5 tablespoons of lemon curd to each bowl and gently swirl it into the oatmeal using the back of a spoon, creating ribbons of lemon flavor.
Drizzle 0.5 tablespoon of honey over the top of each bowl for additional sweetness.
Top each serving with 0.25 cups of fresh blueberries and 1 tablespoon of chopped nuts, if using.
Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest for a bright, citrusy finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your tangy and creamy Lemon Curd Oatmeal!
