Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats gluten free
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅓ cup blueberries optional
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup optional
- ¼ cup pecans optional
Instructions
- First, add almond milk to a saucepan over low medium heat. Once lightly bubbling, add in oats, ground flaxseed and cinnamon.
- Stir to combine. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until most of the liquid is soaked up. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. If too dry, add another spoonful of milk.
- Remove saucepan from heat. Spoon oatmeal into bowls.
- Finally, top with desired toppings such as blueberries, maple syrup and pecans.

Notes
- Any milk works.
- Rolled oats are a better option than quick oats. They are slightly larger, softer and more easily absorb the milk.
- If oatmeal becomes too dry while cooking, simply add a little more milk.
- These oats can also be made into overnight oats. Either make this recipe as written then refrigerate overnight, or mix together ingredients and place in airtight container overnight without cooking.
- Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Nutritional facts do not include toppings.
