Blueberry Oatmeal
Description
This recipe combines rolled oats with almond or oat milk, fresh blueberries, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. The ingredients are brought to a low boil then simmered, stirring occasionally to press and release juices from the blueberries. The oats absorb the liquid, transforming into a creamy dish studded with softened berries and fragrant spices.
The oatmeal has a smooth but textured consistency enhanced by the chia seeds, which thicken the mixture slightly. The natural sweetness from the maple syrup complements the tartness of the fresh blueberries, while cinnamon adds warm, earthy undertones.
This oatmeal can be topped with additional blueberries, nut butter, or a splash of milk for extra flavor and richness. It is suitable for a nourishing morning meal when a warm, fruity cereal is desired.
If fresh blueberries are unavailable, frozen ones can substitute well and still provide a similar flavor and color effect after cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk or oat milk
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ cup blueberries fresh
- ½ Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- blueberries nut butter, maple syrup, milk, fresh, for topping
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan or pot over medium/high heat.
- Bring mixture to a low boil then reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes; stirring occasionally. When stirring oatmeal, press down on blueberries with wooden spoon or spatula to burst the berries, releasing juices. Oatmeal is ready when the oats have soaked up most of the liquid and are creamy.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used in place of fresh ones without altering the recipe substantially.
