Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring plant-based milk to a boil.
  2. Stir in oats, frozen berries and reduce heat to a simmer.
  3. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with sliced banana and your favorite nuts or seeds.

Notes

  • If the oatmeal is too thick: Simmer it until tender and thickened, then pour in more water or plant-based milk to thin it as desired.
  • To thicken oatmeal: Either leave it to simmer for just a little longer or add a thickening ingredient, like protein powder, ground chia seeds, nut flour, coconut flour, etc.
  • Stir often: To avoid the oatmeal scorching/burning to the bottom of the pan. This is also why it’s important to reduce the heat to a simmer once the oats are added.
