Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (or milk alternative)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dried fruit mix (e.g., raisins, cranberries, apricots)
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., diced apples, bananas, or berries)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure a creamy texture.
Stir in the dried fruit mix, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and chia seeds (if using). Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Divide the oatmeal into two servings and top each bowl with the fresh fruit and chopped nuts.
Drizzle an additional teaspoon of honey or maple syrup on top if desired for extra sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy your colorful and nutritious Tuti Fruity Oatmeal!
