Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- optional toppings: chopped nuts, extra blueberries, or a drizzle of honey
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cinnamon, and salt over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract, honey, and blueberries, allowing the blueberries to warm and soften slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to cool slightly.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and add your desired toppings, such as chopped nuts, extra blueberries, or a drizzle of honey.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vanilla Blueberry Oatmeal!
