Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, diced
- 0.5 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix the ingredients evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the oats begin to thicken (about 3-4 minutes into simmering), stir in the diced apple and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the apple softens slightly.
Add the blueberries to the saucepan and stir gently. If using frozen blueberries, allow them to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor.
Divide the warm cereal into two bowls and sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added crunch, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Warm N Fruity Breakfast Cereal while it's comforting and cozy.
